MS Powerpoint, an application used for creating presentations with a series of horizontally formatted slides contains a wide variety of features including the facility to save the presentation as a web page. But, at times, you come across some issues while opening a Powerpoint file saved as a web page. This generally happens due to corruption of Powerpoint file, which causes data inaccessibility. In such cases, recovery of data becomes important as your PPT file may contain critical data. Here, you need to go for Powerpoint Recovery using a good-quality third-party application.

Consider this, while trying to open a Powerpoint slide show saved as a web page, you may encounter the below mentioned error message:

“HTML Import Errors

Problems came up in the following areas during load:
Data is corrupt (path/pres.xml)”

After this error message, you fail to open the HTML Powerpoint presentation, no matter, how many times you try to access it. This error message is most frequent in Microsoft Powerpoint 2000.

Cause:

Possible causes for the above error message are:

• The problem may be due to custom slide show settings at the time of saving it as a web page.

• The error message may also appear if the custom slide show in Powerpoint uses the same slide more than once. This happens because when a slide is used more than once, the duplicate slide is incorrectly referenced in XML.

• There is also a possibility that the Powerpoint file is corrupt. This may happen due to improper system shutdown, virus infection, power failure, and more.

Resolution:

There is no manual workaround or resolution for the above mentioned problem as MS Powerpoint does not have any inbuilt utility to repair the corrupted presentation. Therefore, the only way by which the problem can be resolved is by using a Powerpoint Repair software. By employing sophisticated scanning mechanisms, these applications provide complete PPT Recovery. Embedded with highly interactive graphical user interface, these tools are easy to use and understand and hence do not require any prior technical knowledge.
