How to open PPT3 file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PPT3 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft PowerPoint

Programs to open PPT3 file
Remember to download programs supporting PPT3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft PowerPoint with PPT3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PPT3 file to open in the Microsoft PowerPoint application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PPT3 file with the Microsoft PowerPoint program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft PowerPoint to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft PowerPoint program, it is possible that Microsoft PowerPoint For Mac Presentation requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PPT3 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PPT3 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PPT3 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PPT3 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PPT3 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PPT3 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PPT3 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PPT3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PPT3 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
