I have auto save but when I tried to make a change on my slides I lost all
the previous work I had done, anyone have a solution, I have a presentation
Monday. Help!
 
Hi Ron

Auto save is related to recovering files if PowerPoint crashes AFAIK, not to
actually saving your file. Anyway. What do you mean that when you tried to
make a change you lost all the other work? Had you closed it and then
re-opened it and it was all gone? Or something else?

Some things to try:
- '07 allows you to undo even after a save so if you haven't closed the file
try undoing
- some versions of Vista have a 'revert to previous version' on right click
of a file
- did you e-mail the file to anyone? If so, check your sent items
- are you sure the slides you created aren't masters rather than slides?
(view -> master -> slide master)

Ron,

Just for future reference....

When doing important work (isn't it all?) - I try to save a file using this
method

MyPresentation-v01.ppt

I do some edits... i resave using

file - save as ....

I call it

MyPresentation-v02.ppt

everytime I do something major, I up the version number... That way if a
file should get corrupted - which happens with computers, then I've not lost
everything. As I can go back a version and continue from there.

cheers
