hi

I was working on a powerpoint file and did not save the changes, system
crashed and when I reopened powerpoint, it showed me the files I was working
on. Unfortunately I clicked cancel. (as file showed when it was last saved
and since in my documents I had the version as of the time I saved it,
without changes, I stupidly clicked cancel)

So I only have the old version of the file.

How do I display the pane that shows me the files, or somehow find other
versions of the file that microsoft has saved.

Thanks

Hi

Have you tried closing & re-opening powerpoint? AFAIK there is no way to
open that taskpane manually and it automatically deletes those auto-recover
files when you say you don't want them. However, have a look here to see if
you can locate & open the auto-recover file on your PC:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/CH060831601033.aspx (this is for Word
but the theory is the same)

If you are on Vista you can recover old saved files, see here:

Sorry :-(

At the bottom of the window near where it tells you if your spelling is correct there is a bit that, on mine at least, says "Recovered". Click on it and it opens the taksbar
