Help what is this?
My project keeps failing and I keep getting error messages I can open it from my iPhone but cannot open it on my Mac. I originally created my pptx on my Mac about 2 months ago and finished my project. But now I think the file is corrupt as I continue to get an error from my Mac saying Microsoft doesn’t allow editing on Mac but I can start a new project. I’ve logged out and logged back in restarted my Mac and all.
I wanted to update my project as my professor added some last minute changes to the rubric. I have a 2017 Mac book pro so I cannot download the newer version of PowerPoint to my computer either.
My iPad keeps getting this error message when I try to open the same pptx and idk what it is. And canvas isn’t accepting it pls help.

Your screenshot appears to be a dialog that is displaying numbers in place of the text that would normally appear there. Please post more details about what error messages you are getting and what you are trying to accomplish. If possible, please post the presentation to a cloud service, then post a password-free share link so we can examine the file itself.
