    I have a presentation file which I cannot open in Microsoft PowerPoint. It was created a few years ago using PowerPoint 2007 on a PC running Windows 7.I have installed PowerPoint 2016 on my current PC running Windows 10 and I get 2 errors: 1. Sorry. An error occurred 2. Some controls on this presentation cannot be activated
    Steps taken so far:
    1. I have re-installed PowerPoint
    2. tried opening in older versions
    3. did an update from Microsoft site
    I can load and save new files without problem. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
