I am a new Power Point user. I am (was?) in the process of converting my Viet
Nam slides from 1967 into a power point presentation format. At about my
120th slide I went to save and it acted funny. When I went to reopen the file
to continue it said it can't open the file I think because of the file path
or name. I have no idea what I did. However, I would like to believe I do not
have to start all over again. Other powere point file open. thanks for your
help...................

Try opening the file again and give us the exact error message, Larry.

Also let us know what version of PPT you're using and how large the file is.

In the meanwhile, I'd make a backup copy of the file then try the suggestions
here:
