I am using Office 2003 and keep getting error messages in PowerPoint which 
say "PowerPoint was unable to display some of the text, images, or objects on 
slides in the file, "xxxx.ppt", because they have become corrupted.  Affected 
slides have been replaced by blank slides in the presentation and it is not 
possibl to recover the lost information.  To ensure that the file can be 
opened in the previous versions of PowerPoint, use the Save As command (File 
menu) and save the file with either the same or a new name.  

There are no blank slides in the presentation, so nothing was replaced.  And 
doing the save as does not clear up the problem on the file, get the same 
message.   How do I correct?

You might try round-tripping the file through HTML. Instructions here:
