G Guest Aug 11, 2005 #2 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: http://skp.mvps.org/seqsave.htm It will keep versions of your PowerPoint file intact so you can always go back to a previously saved version. --David David Marcovitz Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Author of _Powerful PowerPoint for Educators_ http://www.loyola.edu/education/PowerfulPowerPoint/
