 .ppt works in PP2003 but not 2007
Office, PowerPoint, PowerPoint 2003, PowerPoint 2007
Hi, A user recently gave me some "corrupt" 2003 .ppt files; these open fine in Office 03, but refuse to open in Office 07. 07 complains saying: "PowerPoint can't open the type of file represented by filename.ppt" Was curious if anyone has a workaround for this, as I've never seen 07 not able to open 03 documents. Have tested the file on several computers and verified that the file is good and readable in 03... Thanks
