Powerpoint 2008 mac

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Powerpoint 2008 for Mac does not open. It is stuck on "Powerpoint is opening My Themes"

Make sure you have Office fully update -- 12.2.4 is current -- repair disk
permissions & see if conditions improve.

If not, there may be a variation on the font issues prevalent in Snow
Leopard. Launch the Apple Font Book app & run the Validate Fonts & the
Resolve Duplicates routines.

Thanks, but still no luck. It is still hung up opening Themes. Other thoughts?

Well, assuming the indication in the splash screen is accurate, there may
well be a corrupt file in the My Themes folder.

Quit PPT then navigate in Finder to:

UserName/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates

Remove (or rename) the My Templates folder, then launch PPT. The program
will create a new one on launch. If that works you can start adding items
from the old folder back to the new one. Add them back one or two at a time
& re-launch PPT after each addition. That will enable you to determine which
file is responsible for the problem.

Still no luck. BTW..there were no Templates or Themes in those folders. I deleted the Templates folder and the Themes folder. The Themes folder was restored when I attempted to restart powerpoint but not the Templates folder. 7Any other ideas? Thanks....
