Re: Help Opening ppt file

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I can't thank you enough for all of your help. I have tried all that
you suggest. Right now, I'm trying to update Office 2003. I have
installed Office 2007 and that won't open the file either. I'll keep
trying but it looks like a lost cause.


Thanks, thanks, thanks,
Bob Wright
