ppt error code "No text converter is installed for this file type"

Question

Every since I renewed my office 365 subscription this month I cannt download and open a ppt file.  The original is a 2003-2007 file. I keep getting  "No text converter is installed for this file type"

This is more than aggravating. I need these for school. I have never had this problem before.

Answer 1

This may sound stupid, but give it a try anyhow:

Right click the icon of the downloaded file.

Choose Properties.

On the general tab of the Properties dialog box, look for an Unblock button or a checkbox having something to do with blocking.  If it's there, click UNBLOCK or do whatever's needed in the checkbox to unblock the file.

Then try in PPT again.

Answer 2

Thanks you are right it is a 97-2003 ppt.. But it is not a issue with the file.  I can download and open it on my moms computer, sisters computer, and school computer  just not my computer. I don't live near any of these other computers so this does not help me.  I have downloaded and opened files from the same professor with the same system until a week ago when I started receiving this message.  I could down load them and open them until I renewed my 365 subscription. Once again thanks for your help.

There is really no such thing as a 2003 - 2007 file. If you mean 97-2003 you might want to investigate the possibility that it is actually a 95 file (which appears the same but will not open.)
