Microsoft Office is one of the most common and popular software programs among all computer users. It is a software package that contains various desktop applications for multiple purposes. As a computer user, we use these applications on a daily basis. MS PowerPoint is one of them, which is used to create and design high-quality presentation files. We all know the importance of presentation. It is widely used in almost all sectors, for example:

• For marketing promotion or corporate training session in business or big company.
• For educational or training purposes in the education sectors.

MS PowerPoint is one of the best tools for creating presentation files. A presentation file can contain multiple pages, which are known as slides, since they appear in a slider fashion. A slide in a presentation file can contain multiple file objects, such as: text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects. All of these file objects make a presentation file more attractive and eye-catching. Microsoft PowerPoint saves presentation files in PPT or .ppt file extension. There are three types of file extension used by Microsoft PowerPoint:

1. PPT: The PPT file stores all the presentation data in a single binary file. It is used by MS PowerPoint 2003 and its earlier versions.
2. PPTX (Open XML): The PPTX file is created using the Open XML format. Stores documents as a collection of separate files in compressed form. It can be opened in MS PowerPoint 2007 and 2010.
3. PPTM (open XML macro enabled): PPTM file, which is also known as macro-enabled presentation, contains embedded macros. It can be opened in MS PowerPoint 2007 and 2010.

It takes a lot of time and hard work to make a presentation file. A PPT file can be large as it contains multiple slides and multiple file objects. Due to its large size and complex structure, it can easily be corrupted or damaged.

There is no computer file or application that is immune from corruption. In the same way, presentation files are also prone to corruption. MS PowerPoint program cannot open or read a corrupt file. There could be several unforeseen factors behind this corruption. Virus infection, unfinished or abrupt system shutdown, improper cancellation of presentation files or applications, unexpected system hard drive crash, software malfunction, human error or mishandling of a presentation, etc. are some of the common reasons for corruption. While opening a corrupt presentation file, we may face some errors. Errors are the perfect indication of file corruption. Some of the most common errors are: “This is not a PowerPoint presentation” Prayed“The file is corrupt or damaged”.

Every time a file gets corrupted or damaged, we need to repair it. we can use “Open and Repair” to repair corrupt files, it is a built-in repair function provided by MS Office to repair corrupt documents.
