A DVD Tutorial with 48 hours of 2010/2007 video tutorials for $13 (I've ordered it just today as I've been using 2000 Pro for the past century):

You can go to the TeachUcomp site and sample some of the videos. If it helps me out with only a few issues, it'll be worth the money.

I just recovered some .rtf files I accidentally deleted in my recycle bin. I used a third party software, StellarPhoenix. However, now my computer won't open them. Can you help?

I have a computer that is running Windows XP with Office 2007 Professional. I am having problems only with the Powerpoint files in the office, specifically .pptx files. When you double-click on the file it opens up to a blank presentation. Once that is open if you click open and navigate to the file then it opens correctly.


I have checked the registry and the open/command path is correct. Any other ideas will help. All the others work fine: Word, Excel, and Outlook.

Otherwise you may apply www.pptx.openfiletool.com/ PPTX Open File Tool or manual guide below..
1. Try importing the slides from the PPTX file rather than actually opening it. Click "Insert," then "Slides From Files." Browse to and select your file, then click "Insert All." This might extract the slides from the corrupted file and place them in a fresh file, though the formatting may be lost. Checking the "Keep source formatting" box might help.

2. Try opening the presentation in Word. Open Word and click "Open" in the "File" menu. Use the "Files of type" drop-down menu to select "Recover Text From Any File," then try to open your corrupted PowerPoint file. Again, most of your formatting will probably be lost, but your data will be there.
3. Check for a TMP file. These are temporary copies of recently accessed files. There may or may not be a temporary copy of the file you want, but it's worth a shot. Right-click the "Start" button, then click "Search," and run a search for "*.TMP." The search will return many files, most of them probably with incomprehensible names. Click the "Date Modified" button to sort them according to the last time they were edited and find a file that was created around the time you lost the PowerPoint file. Try to open this in PowerPoint.

4. Try opening the file in a different application that supports the PPTX format. The most prominent of these is the Impress program in the OpenOffice suite, a free, open-source alternative to Microsoft Office.

Does my laptop need internet access to open my newly installed Microsoft Office program, or did I do something wrong?

Check the box for requirements and see if it says you need internet access to install. In the past the answer would be NO but I haven't installed a newer version of Office in a couple years. If you have no box check any of the documentation for "Install Requirements".

You do need internet access to update MS Office and to download accessories but the install should be pretty stand alone. Unless Microsoft is under the impression everyone has internet access and with such infinite knowledge took it upon themselves to use short cuts on their install software via the internet.
