Opening Powerpoints

Suddenly when I download powerpoints and try to open them, the notification comes up saying 'Additional permission is required to open the following files', and when I grant access it says 'Powerpoint cannot read ^0'. I have always been able to open powerpoint until today. I have a MacBook Air. Thank you!

Powerpoint Add-in I am having difficulty trying to add an add-in to my PowerPoint app, Version 16.43. When I go to the add-in screen, under office Add-ins it only shows MAY ADD-INS and STore, I do not see admin, which appears on my other mac computer2, I did a side by side, comparison of settings. I did go into the store, found the add-in I wanted, but when I try to add it, I get a msg, there is an error, doesn't say what error. I was able to add this add-in on the mac2, but not able to add it to my mac 1. I looked up troubleshooting and followed instructions, but I continue to have issues. Under user in setting, I am listed as admin.... Please advise. Connie S

"Powerpoint cannot launch" I've been trying to run powerpoint on my MacBook Pro Touch, running macOS High Sierra, but a message keeps coming up that says "Powerpoint cannot launch". I have re-installed office 365, yet it's not working. I've been working on this machine for more than 6 months and it was working fine. Solutions please.

Powerpoint docs won't save I'm getting an error message saying I cannot save my file because it's "loaded by another user at the moment" - I haven't shared the file or opened it on another device, so what's going on? I'm using Big Sur 11.5.2 and Powerpoint for Mac 16.52

First, find out if a security password has been set for this file, if it has, it will not open without one.

read this Microsoft help page for information: Password Protection for Powerpoint files
