I have two issues that I have not yet been able to resolve:

 

1) Everytime I export to PowerPoint, the first page of the presentation (excluding the cover page) always has grey boxes instead of the visualisations. As a work around, I have to duplicate the first page - one will then display the grey boxes and the other will display correcrlt in PowerPoint. (It makes no difference if I save the report before exporting as mentioned in previous posts). 

 

2) I have created several textboxes with hyperlinks my report, however, all of the hyperlinks are removed when exported to PowerPoint. They then have to be manuallly added back into the presentation. Very annoying...

 

Any suggestions to resolve these issues would be appreciated. Particularly around the hyperlinks issue. Thanks!

Hi leylandv,

 

Thanks for your feedback!

 

1) We are not aware of this problem. I would be glad if you can share more details on our support email:

2) The export is creating images by taking a snapshot, thus the hyperlinks are no longer working.

 

Regards,
