I had the same problem. There is no specific answer, but if you powerpoint was saved under the old one (powerpoint 2003) than its best to go on a computer with this program and you could go from there. It may not work, but bless God for saving me from this problem.

Are you sure it's a PowerPoint file?
Are you sure it's a PowerPoint file? I've seen that message, when someone
tries to open a PDF (with the wrong file extension) in PowerPoint. So
renaming the extension to .PDF and opening in Adobe Reader might be worth a
try

Since PowerPoint says it cannot read the outline, is this a word processing

I have the same problem.
I have the same problem
Its a Windows Vista with office 2003 and office 2007 converter installed
(and updates)
I have tested with a Word 2007 file and it works
I have tried to open the pptx file on a computer that has powerpoint 2007
and it works.
I have tried to convert the file to powerpoint 97/2003 format it works
But as soon as I try to open the pptx file on the vista machine with office
2003 and 2007 converter I get the "PowerPoint can't read the outline from
filename. No text converter is installed for this file type."
But I'm sorry to say I have yet no solution.
:
ooooooh, you know, that rings a bell.
ooooooh, you know, that rings a bell.
The compatibility packs don't work unless all critical Windows updates have
been applied -- to Windows. I don't know if there were any Vista patches
required (there shouldn't have been, I don't think), but it would be worth
trying. See if installing all the latest Vista patches and service packs
resolves it.

text coverter needed for ppt 2007
I have the exact same problem. I have vista and powerpoint 2007 on my laptop - everything is up to date with MS and Windows. I can't open a 2003 ppt file that contains an outline without getting that annoying msg. I can open the file easily with powerpoint 2003 that is installed on my old desktop computer. So the file is not corrupted. I just spent a 1/2 hour on a online chat with a MS tech - who was really nice but more concerned about my buying a service agreement than helping me solve this problem. Which by the way, happens to a lot of people, as you can see by searching for this error msg on google. If anyone at MS is listening to this, I hope they can help. I hope someone has solved the problem. In the meantime, I will continue to search the web for a solution and use my old computer to access the file. I'm going to try to delete the outline in a copy and see if that might work. Let you know how that turns out.
SOLUTION - the PPT file is truncated
In my case the file was delivered by FTP and it didn't transfer entirely, and the user didn't notice and tried to open it. The message was exactly like the original poster told.
Maybe this will save somebody's life ;-)
Solution: Rename as pptx
If someone has already saved it as ppt and you cannot load it, just rename the extension as .pptx.
It worked for me. Windows XP.

The converter pack and updates did not work for me either. So I installed the Microsoft Powerpoint 2007 viewer. Its available for free from the microsoft web site.
I have this problem too

.... what?
I have the same problem, but mine was actually created mostly on one computer and a bit on another. It worked on this computer yesterday...bear in mind, I'm still in school, so this is kinda confusing, and mine doesn't HAVE an extension that I can see. How do I change it?
