FAQ

Answer:

When creating presentations, users often use complex transformations to insert objects. This is done for ensuring the correct rendering of images, videos, Excel tables and other elements. While recovering data from PPT and PPTX files, PowerPoint Repair Toolbox cannot always return these objects to the presentation due to these transformations.

To make sure that this data doesn’t get lost, the program saves it to a separate folder. After that, the user can manually insert the saved objects back into the presentation.
