Can not open a file

[Rita]

When I try to open my file in Powerpoint it say "can not open because part of
file is missing''. I am sure that this file is ok because I can open it on
any other computer. It seems that this is a problem of this version of
PowerPoint. How I should solve this problem? I have a trail version of Office
2003, which expire in May. Now I have really doubt if I should buy it. The
old version is less problematic.

This message makes me think that you saved the presentation to a floppy disk or
a thumb disk. Saving to removable media is dangerous because if there is not
enough space on the disk for *two* copies of the presentation, you will end up
with a partial file.

When you play it on the other system, is it really the same version?
