PowerPoint generates error message

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

When PowerPoint is in front - e.g. typing or drawing - it generates this error message 4-6 times each second!
It has generated more than 5000 error messages in two days.

Why is that? Can is be repaired - without having to stop using PowerPoint?

The error message is NOT generated when PowerPoint is not in the front-

The error messages stop when quitting PowerPoint. Word does not generate any
error messages.

I suspect that this error message must drain the system for resources and the battery for energy - is that
correct?

I have had this for ages as well. Even with the latest update 12.1.5, it continues! I have searched here and the net, but not seen anyone explain what might cause this, or how to resolve it. I cannot believe that it is benign - at a minimum it is hogging resources and filling up log space with thousands of error messages.

I am starting to believe it is associated with crashes I have had as well.
