Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / May 2007Auotrecover claims to save but no files exist. Autorecover fails.
Powerpoint claims to be saving Autorecover files every 10 minutes (as it's set to do). But when Powerpoint stops responding (which seems to happen when I accidentally hit F13--right above the delete key --I need to disable that!) and I "Force Quit" no recovery files are used or found. They are supposed to be saved in Documents/Microsoft User Data/ but there are only MSWord autorecovery saves stored there. No powerpoint files. A "find" on any document saved today only shows the original file (last saved four hours ago, unfortunately). It looks like I might not be able to recover this afternoon's work. But I'd like to try to fix whatever is broken with the autorecovery saves, so this doesn't happen again! Thanks for any help. Hi, If PowerPoint closes normally then I think the autorecovery file is deleted. If the power goes off and the computer simply quits in the middle of everything then PowerPoint should automatically load the recovery file when you start PowerPoint. From PowerPoint help: *I used the AutoRecover feature, but now I can't find the recovered presentation. *If you chose not to save a recovered file after Microsoft PowerPoint automatically opened it, the file was deleted when you quit PowerPoint.
