PPT File Won't Open

[Steve B]

Hi Folks. I worked all day on a PPT presentation via MS Office X on Mac
iBook G4. I tested it many times and it ran perfectly. I saved it,
closed it and opened some other PPT files to play with. I then went back
to the org and when I clicked the icon, a dialog box popped up and said
it couldn't be opened because parts of the file are missing. I also
tried opening it from PPT menu. Is there anything I can do to get the
file back. I'm sure most of us have experienced this at some time.
thanks steve

Also.... did you ever email the presentation to someone or yourself? is so,
check the 'sent items' folder

Thanks for the links. One thing that may have happened was, I am
experimenting with different sounds, wav source and it seems some of the
sounds are corrupted. I put the sounds in different folders and am
wondering if there is a proper way to organize additional sounds. Do you
know about working with other sounds? steve

So can you open your file now?

Or did moving the wav files to another folder stop your powerpoint file from
opening?
