no text convertor is installed for this type of file -powerpoint

A ppt file which I had worked on earlier now refuses to open using
PowerPoint. I get a error window with the message " PowerPoint can't read the
outline from c:\users|abcd.ppt. No text converter is installed for this file
type.

I am surprised because this is a file that I had created and worked on and
now it doesn't open in PowerPoint. All work gone to waste?

If your using PowerPoint 2007 it might be that the PowerPoint presentation
was created in PowerPoint 95 and 2007 cannot open presentations created that
far back. You would have to use an earlier version of PowerPoint to open the
presentation.
