Mac: How do I recover corrupt or unreadable PowerPoint presentations?
Problem
PowerPoint can't open my presentation. I get messages about it being corrupt or unreadable.
Solution or Workaround
First, be sure you've updated your copy of PowerPoint to the most recent version. That can solve many problems, including the inability to open some PPT files.
See this MS support article for Mac-specific suggestions.
Also check out the Windows-specific page here on the PPT FAQ for other suggestions that may help.
