Unfortunately you aren't the first - and most certainly won't be the last -
to *misinterpret* the Save AutoRecover Info feature. It *is not* the same as
an automatic Save. It only offers some degree of protection against the loss
of recent changes in the event of an inappropriate shutdown - but *only* if
the file has already been saved at least once... Otherwise there is no file.
If the file *had* been saved [by you] any AutoRecover Info would present
itself the next time you were able to launch the program.
Research it in PowerPoint Help for more about it (Word & Excel work the same
way) - and remember to save your work as you go. Command+S every once in a
while works wonders.
BTW: Going for that long without ever saving the file is quite likely what
caused/contributed to the system freeze in the first place.

Working on project - 5 hours, not worried about backing up as autosave
is doing its job every 10. Sys freezes, really freezes, finally able
to get force quit to open and all apps not responding - first ever,
shut all but pp, wait, still... rehash in head what I did for last 10
minutes, 'force quit', reopen, no ppt with odd self generated # tagged
with temp for name, no error, mess, no fu.... nothing. Did I say 5
hrs of work? Have done global searches, have been on web for 3 hrs
today (had to walk away yesterday), lost, don't get it, where did
those saves go? PLEASE someone help me.
