lost file

I accidently closed my powerpoint file without saving it
first. Is there anyway to retrieve the file updates?

Do you feel lucky?
You will need to be very lucky for this to work.

It is possible that PowerPoint created a temp file of your presentation with
working modifications. If so, then you may be able to recover some of your
work. But first the hard part: finding the tmp file.

Do a file search on your hard drive for *.tmp created on the correct date.
The results will need to be ...
1) Copied to the desktop
2) Renamed to *.PPT
3) Attempted to open in PowerPoint
4) The copy deleted if not a valid PPT file

If you locate the file, I would immediately save it as something new.

Good luck,
B
