Studio 2014 cannot open pptx

Question

I cannot open Powerpoint pptx files in Studio 2014: Error Message ( Powerpoint file was not created in PowerPoint 2007 and cannot be processed. Original German: Die PowerPoint-Datei wurde nicht in PowerPoint2007 erstellt und kann nicht verarbeitet werden.)

Paul · Answer

Do you know what version of powerpoint was used to create the powerpoint files you have? The message seems clear that the file was not created with a version of powerpoint supported by Studio 2014. 
 
Can you share the powerpoint and I can test it in 2015? If you can email it to pfilkin@sdl.com 
 
Regards

Hi Stephan. 
 
The same just happened on my pc (Trados Studio 2014, Windows 7) with a .pptx file I received from a client. 
I was able to solve it as follows: 
 
Open the .pptx file in PowerPoint 2010, save it (Ctrl+S), and close it. 
 
After that, I was able to open it in Trados Studio. 
I hope this works for you too. :-) 
 
Cheers!
