I created a significant powerpoint presentation. Saved it in .ppt and pptx
formats and when I went to open every slide was jumbled with unreadable text.
I am not used to viewer and have always used slide show to show my
presentations. Why are my files corrupted after so much work?
 
Which version of PPT are you using?

PPT 2007 particularly is dependent on printer drivers for its text display.
See if this sorts it out:

How to install a TEST printer driver

Otherwise it might be missing fonts, but it's hard to tell because I don't
know if you're opening the file on the same machine you created it on or
what.
 
Using 2007 Small Business. I saved my presentation in ppt.pps.pptx.ppsx
formats for use with many colleagues. The only way to see correctly is to
open with Viewer. All other extensions show jumbled text. I am opening on
the same machine I created it on. Once open in Viewer, can't save to correct
problem. Ugh!

In that case, try the printer driver thing.
