Takes forever to open a ppt file

[tdavis]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Some of my ppt files take a long time to open. I have waited 10 to 15 minutes for them to open and then I force quit. I have seen, on the forum, where people have mentioned this problem but I did not see a solution. Please help me out.

Nobody can offer a solution until they know what thee problem is & that
can't be determined until you look beyond the *symptom* & provide the
necessary details

Exact update level of Office?

Exact update level of OS X?

Have you repaired disk permissions & restarted your Mac lately?

Have you run Apple's Font Book to Validate fonts & Resolve Duplicates?

What specific type of PPT file (what is the extension?)?

What is the origin of the files presenting the problem? Where are they
stored (local HD, file server, external HD, USB Stick????)

What is the nature of the content in the files?

What other details can you supply?
