I cannot locate a powerpoint that was saved to a floppy. When I try to locate
it on the floppy, says it is not there. How else can I find this? I am a new
powerpoint user, so make it simple!!

Saving a presentation directly to a floppy from within PowerPoint will often
result in a corrupt or incomplete file that cannot be opened. This is likely
what has happened to you. Never save your presentation to a floppy. Instead,
save it to your hard drive and then exit PowerPoint and open Windows Explorer
and copy the file to a floppy if it will fit.

Sadly, unless you have a backup copy saved to your hard drive, you may have lost
the presentation.
