Hi there. I believe I updated a PDF version of the PPT, as it seems to be a download issue with the PPT version. I’m happy to send this over to you if you want to email me your email address. Sorry about this issue. I do keep reporting this each time and believed uploading a PDF version had solved the issue, but it obviously hasn’t.
