You can't set your own shortcut keys in PowerPoint (other than by using an
add-in), but Ctrl+S saves your PPT file as it does in most other Windows
programs.

no, in my ppt 2003 it selects the option "underlined text"

Is this an English version of PPT and do you have English set as the editing
language?

Ah. Then the control key combinations will probably be different.

They should be listed on the menus though:

Look at the Save option on the File menu (you'll have to translate these into
Italian for me, thanks!). On the right side of the menu, you'll see the control
keys for each of the commands.

There's no autosave feature in PowerPoint; there's something that SEEMS like it
might be that, but it's not.

But you can go to http://skp.mvps.org and download Shyam's free addin that
automatically saves your work for you (Sequential Save)

well, yes, but for the rest of my windows 200 applications ctrl+s works,
not with ppt

keys for each of the commands.

yes, I know, and it says maiusc+f12, which is fine but I would have
preferred the other way ;)

If PowerPoint crashes, it can sometimes restore your presentation to what it was
before the crash. The setting tells it how often to save information that lets it do
that.

For example, if you set it to 10 minutes, it will save after you've been working on
the presentation for 10 minutes. If PowerPoint crashes five minutes after that,
you'll only lose five minutes of work, not fifteen.
