PowerPoint can't reaad *.ppt

[davidburns75]

One of our clients has a problem to open a PowerPoint file with PowerPoint can't read *.ppt. I think the file is damaged. How do you recover it?

 

[skittle]

Tell your client to keep backup of important files. The PowerPoint file is toast if it is corrupted.

Also this is not "opensource software"...

Do a repair and see if it fixes, if not, reinstall over the top.
