Power point can't read a presentation

'A woman in my office was making changes to an existing .ppt file in Office 2000 and apparently she was trying to make some text bold. When she hit ctl+b the screen went to Outlook and asked if she wanted to send the presentation to an outlook contact. She closed out and when it asked if she wanted to save changes she said yes. Now the file cannot be opened. I have tried to save it as .pps, .htm. even .doc but every time it says, "power point can't read..." If I right click and go to properties it shows all of the information that the file contains. Also when you click on the presentation once- it shows a preview of the first slide in the side bar of win explorer. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
 
All I can recommend is that you read:
