"Exception during import Powerpoint" error

Hi Matt

I get the same error as you.

I tried importing the whole file, then the first six slides and then just the first slide and it errored each time.

This KB article about troubleshooting ppt import errors may help.

Hi Matt

I tried changing the name - no success, moving location on C:drive - no success, created a new master layout and deleted your custom master layout - no success.

I think the pptx is corrupt.

I created a new pptx file and copy/pasted the contents of the first slide (not the master slide) and it imported fine.

Good luck

Hi Matt,

Sorry to hear you've stumbled upon a corrupt .pptx file - never a good thing, especially on a weekend! Hopefully Wendy's tip will get you situated with this one particular file, and if you're looking to prevent file corruption in the future the tips here are specific to Storyline, but ultimately they're good practices as a whole. We also have the steps  here on how to fix a corrupt Powerpoint, which refer to Presenter '13, but may be able to help you out as well!
