Is there a utility for recovering corrupted power point files? My son's presentation got trashed while updating his presentation to a CD formated as a disk. I got the file off using backup MS 98 utility. I restored it to my HD. Is it possible to fix the file?

update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide any additional file backup or recovery tools.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
