A co-worker was recently upgraded to Windows XP Professional from Windows
2000. She had PowerPoint 2003 with both operating systems.
Now, some PowerPoint presentations created in 2003 have the following error
(it's long!):
Powerpoint was unable to display some of the text, images, or objects as
slides in the file (name) because they have become corrupt. Affected slides
have been replaced by blank slides in the presentation and it is not possible
to recover lost information. To ensure that the file can be opened in
previous versions of PowerPoint, use the Save As command and save the file
within the same name or a new name.
The error only occurs with presentations containing multiple column charts,
tables, and imported spreadsheets. It doesn't occur for a simple bullet
presentation. She tried it on multiple presentations and got the error
message for different presentations, so it's not an individual file
corruption. Everything appears to be okay in the presentations, though--no
blank slides or text that didn't display.
She didn't have any problems before the migration to the new operating
system, and everyone else who has been migrated is having similar problems.
Has anyone run into this, and how do we fix it? We'd hate to have to
recreate the presentation, and so far, we've been told to fix it by saving it
in PowerPoint 95!
