Tried the option with opening it in SO6 and without starting the
presentation trying to save as PowerPoint. Error!
There is only one defined user (apart from the usual crowd: root,
news, nobody, etc.) and the original file as well as the tearget
directory are both in this user's home.
All I tried so far resulted in the same error as the original poster
described. I created another presentation with exactly the same amount
of slides and a lot of images (no meaningful contents just a dummy
file) and had no trouble to save it as PowerPoint file.
Must be something in the file. Strange!
