PowerPoint file will not open

[rocketman]

When trying to open an existing PowerPoint file, a dialog box appears and
states that the file cannot be opened because part of the file is missing.
Does anyone have any advice on how to salvage the data in this file?

I'm using PowerPoint 2000 on Windows 2000
Hardware is a Dell Precision 530.

It sounds like you saved the file to a floppy disk, or downloaded it from
somewhere. Always save to your hard drive, never to removable media, especially
a floppy. If the file was downloaded and the download was interrupted somehow,
try it again.
