The situation is even scarier when you have an important presentation to deliver. The error message has to be fixed in order to get access to the file.<\/p>\n<p>Well, stop worrying; there are different ways by which you can solve the error message. PowerPoint provides an inbuilt feature called \u2018Open and Repair\u2019 which helps to easily resolve minor issues with PowerPoint file. If the error message doesn\u2019t get fixed even after using this feature, then you need to resort to other methods to fix the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly this problem occurs when Microsoft Office has blocked the file for any security reason. You need to unblock the file so that you can open it or read it. Just follow the steps given below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open File Explorer and open the PowerPoint file having the problem<\/li>\n<li>Right click on that file, and select <strong>Properties<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>In the <em>Properties<\/em> dialog box, find the <strong>Unblock<\/strong> button present at the bottom right. If it is present then click <strong>Unblock<\/strong>, and click <strong>Apply<\/strong>, followed by <strong>OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Now try to open the PowerPoint file again. Right-click on the file in Explorer, and hit <strong>Open<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hope this method helped to fix error message and get access to PPT file content. But if the problem is still not resolved, then the file could be corrupted. You need to fix the file using a PPT Repair software. Don\u2019t worry; with the help of this PowerPoint Repair software, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.remorepair.com\/windows\/cant-read-ppt.html\"><strong>fix Can\u2019t read PPT file<\/strong><\/a> error, or \u2018Presentation file cannot be opened\u2019 error in just a few clicks.
