PowerPoint Backup Files - Feature requested

[Guest]

After several hours of work today in PowerPoint, I needed to save one chart
to a seperate file. To do so, I deleted all but one chart - and went to do a
"Save as" - but accidently hit save instead - and lost all my new work
(except that one chart). Now that my crying eyes are dry, I urge the powers
that be to add an option in PowerPoint that keeps a "backup" copy, like the
feature found in Word.

You should look into one of Shyam's add-ins: Sequential Save. It is a free
add-in that lets you save back up copies. You can find information on it at
his site:
