Starting powerpoint I get an error

[stujam]

the error message reads "Powerpoint detects an error it cannot resolve. save
your work and exit the programme".
Is there a way to get round this problem without re-installing powerpoint?

I don't have an answer for you, but there are questions. What version of
PowerPoint? Does it offer you an opportunity to send a report? Have you
clicked on Send?

Have you tried rebooting? Has it always done this, or did it just start?

 

[stujam]

it's powerpoint 2000. The problem is recent, I've used the program for a few
years successfully and it won't let me send a report. re-booting doesn't work

I'd start here:

PowerPoint found an error that it can't correct

The first thing to try (if you haven't already) is applying all the latest
Office updates. With any luck the problem will come out in the wash when the
updates get applied to PowerPoint.
