Hi Erin,

I see you are having a problem opening this PowerPoint.
Sometimes this error happens with older versions of PowerPoint or some school versions which prevent PowerPoint templates being opened.

Can I get you to try something for me? Please right click the file and select ‘Open’ from the menu. This should allow you to access the file without the error message.

If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
