Troubleshooting Problems Opening PPT Files

Typical PPT Opening Challenges

Apache OpenOffice Not Present

If you attempt to load your PPT file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open PPT Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Apache OpenOffice for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your PPT because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your PPT file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Obsolete Version of Apache OpenOffice

Your PowerPoint Presentation file is incompatible with Apache OpenOffice because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Apache Software Foundation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Apache OpenOffice. The primary cause of this problem is that your PowerPoint Presentation file was created by a different (newer) version of Apache OpenOffice than what's installed.

Tip: Investigate your PPT file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of PPT file opening issues are due to not having the correct Apache OpenOffice version installed.

Other Causes of PPT File Opening Problems

Errors opening PowerPoint Presentation files can still occur even with the latest Apache OpenOffice software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening PPTs. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

• PPT file type Registry entries are wrong
• Deletion of the PPT file description from the Registry by mistake
• Apache OpenOffice or another PPT application experienced a flawed installation
• The PPT itself is corrupted
• Malware-tainted PPT file can't be opened
• Device drivers for PPT-related hardware are out-of-date
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your PowerPoint Presentation file successfully
