which you receive the error message.
NOTE: Make sure that you open the presentation on the same computer on
which you have already received the error message.
The computer stops
responding (hangs) on the slide with the damaged object for a short time before
you receive the error message. - Make note of the offending object's location.
- Open the presentation on a Microsoft Windows 95 or
Microsoft Windows 98-based computer.
- Locate the offending object, and then delete it.
NOTE: This action removes this object from your presentation. If this
object is an essential part of the presentation, you will need to reproduce
it. - On the File menu, click Save.
- Open the new presentation on the Windows NT or Windows
2000-based computer.
