All,
I sent an email regarding a hosed powerpoint presentation. Does anyone have any experience with data recovery applications? I found Data Rescue X. The demo only lets me recover one 500k file. My presentation is 13.8 MB. They want $90 for it. Not sure if I should take the plug. Thoughts...
data rescue X will get nothing for you...the file is perfectly OK from the OS point of view. The file is corrupted internally in the structures Powerpoint uses.
I got one suggestion to open it in Keynote. I thought I had an old beta around here but I can't find it. Will try that as soon as I can get my hands on a copy.--
Hey, that reminds me. I've had luck with corrupted Powerpoint files by opening them in Open Office <http://openoffice.org> worth a shot. Ironically, you'll probably have a quicker time installing it on a PC, since it's still only an X-windows port on the Mac.
