Hi
Recently, I had a viral attack on my pc and have decided to upgrade to
Microsoft 2007 Small Office suite, using the XP. Unfortunately, some of my
old Powerpoint files seemed corrupted and could not be opened. These might
have been created using Windows 95 or earlier.
Does anyone think that Open Office may let me open these and save in my
latest Powerpoint? If so, which version is best?
I would appreciate an early answer please so that I won't have to recreate
these again from scratch.
Thanks.

Hi
There have been many reports over the years of OOo being able to open MS
files which MS Office hasn't been able to.
I suggest you make a copy of the offending files, then try opening them
with OOo 3.0 (or 3.0.1 which is in RC2 stage). Note: OOo will not save
in the MSO 2007 formats. It will save in 97/2000/XP format.
After all you are only going to lose your time and the bandwidth to
download it.
Good luck. Please let us know how you get on.
