Hello,

I keep getting this error message? I am trying to import powerpoints from my professors slides. I have to convert it to .ppt (I have the newer version of office) and when I do it shows an error message of "The Shape and any text in it cannot be edited when using earlier versions of PP." I then try to import it into OpenCards and it shows "Contains No Valid Flashcards?." The format is already in Header (title) and content. So, I am not sure why it isn't  working? If I create my own slides, it works.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, I can not resolve PowerPoint issues. OpenCards relies
on a proper slide master including a title shape. See
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-is-a-slide-master-b9abb2a0-7aef-4257-a14e-4329c904da54
for details.

If you could deposit/share an example slide I could have a look.

Best
Holger
