PPT97: Error Opening File Containing Macintosh EPS
This article was previously published under Q186878
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to open a PowerPoint presentation that was created with
PowerPoint for the Macintosh, you may receive the following error:
PowerPoint cannot translate the file.
CAUSE
The Macintosh picture filter, Pictim32.dll, can only open EPS images saved
in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) version 3.0 format or later. The filter
cannot open and translate images saved in EPS version 2.0 or earlier
format. Because the format of EPS files varies you may not be able to open
some presentations that contain EPS files.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, obtain Microsoft PowerPoint 97 Service Release 2
(SR-2).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in
Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 2 (SR-2).
For additional information about SR-2, please see the following article
