Powerpoint found an error that it can't correct. ...

[Barb Reinhardt]

We're getting the following error when saving a Macro Enabled PowerPoint
presentation in PowerPoint 2007.

Powerpoint found an error that it can't correct. You should save
presentations, quit and then restart powerpoint

FWIW, this system has both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 installed, and I'm not
as yet sure what versions other than PowerPoint 2007 are installed. Can
someone shed some light on the cause of this error message and what needs to
be done to eliminate it?

Thank,
Barb Reinhardt

I have no idea what is going wrong. Have you tried:

(1) Saving it as a regular PowerPoint file (not macro-enabled), then
opening it and saving it as macro-enabled.

(2) Saving it as a 97-2003 file.

(3) Round-tripping to HTML

1) save as PPT( the older version of PPT 2003) but the file size will become a lot larger.

2) Usually it's memory overflow issue.
I think your presentation slides have too many invisible objects for PowerPoint to handle. You can't correct it/them since they are invisible. Unless you remove slides, the problem will go on.

Go to menu [File -Info - Check for Issues - Inspect Document ]
Now, find and remove invisible data

To prevent this issue from happening, do not copy/paste slides or pictures from unknown sources. If you write or use VBA script, BE SURE to remove invisible objects created during the slideshow.

Below is the scrpt that can be used to remove all the invisible shape objects in the slides.

Sub remove_invisible()
Dim i, j as Integer
Dim myShape as Shape
Dim myCount as Integer

For i = 1 To ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
' delete shapes in reversed order. Otherwise, you may miss some consecutive innvisible shapes. Do not use 'for each' syntax when deleting an array.
For j =ActivePresentation.Slides(i).Shapes.Count to 1 Step -1
set myShape = ActivePresentation.Slides(i).Shapes(j)
If myShape.Visible = msoFalse Then
myShape.Delete ' erase shapes
myCount = myCount + 1
End If

Next j
Next i

MsgBox myCount & " shapes were deleted."
End Sub
