Hello.
I have an old client who has a bunch of old *.PPT files (can't share
them to the public) from his MS Office 95 on an old Toshiba 810 MB FAT
HDD. He doesn't have its original laptop/notebook anymore since it died
decade(s) ago. Its loud clicky HDD still worked as an external drive
with an USB adapter though.
I was unable to open these very old PPT files in newer local (not
online) MS Office versions from it and locally on a couple computers
(his 13.3" MacBook Pro with updated Mac OS Sierra v10.12.6 and Mac
Office 2011, and my updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1's Office 2007). He had no
problems with his very old Word *.doc files though!
Thank you in advance. :)
