How do I "un-save"?

[csemotok]

I accidentally hit "save" instead of "save as" so all my work for the
original document is gone. How do I recover this file?

 

[David M. Marcovitz]

I don't think that there is much you can do this time, but perhaps others
will chime in with some fix for you. For the future, you might want to get
the Sequential Save Add-in:

It will keep versions of your PowerPoint file intact so you can always go
back to a previously saved version.

there is a very slim change of a .tmp file sitting on your hard drive
somewhere

have a look in
c:\documents and settings\username\local settins\temp\

look for something about the original filesize (of which you don't know - as
you've overwritten the data!)

Also...did you email the file to anyone/yourself.... if so have a look in
your 'sent' folder

cheers
