Corrupted PowerPoint file

Created by Steve Minor, Modified on Thu, 9 Oct at 7:36 AM by Steve Minor

If your PowerPoint file becomes corrupted and 

cannot be opened, try opening the file in PowerPoint's "Safe Mode" by holding 

down the "Ctrl" key while clicking on the PowerPoint icon to launch the program. 

From there, you can try repairing the file by going to the "File" menu, selecting 

"Info," then "Manage Presentation," and selecting "Recover Unsaved 

Presentations" or "Repair." If those options do not work, you may need to try 

using a third-party file recovery tool or recreating the presentation from scratch.
