Thanx Steve...I'm up to 243 so far (Civil War stuff...lot of build
charts...formations etc)...I tried one of these in Harvard Graphics once and
it locked-up around 100+ charts...could never unlock it...lost it all.
I'm fearful of it happening in PP...
Aside: It sounds as though perhaps you mean (what we'd call) "slides" rather than
charts (which in PPTese is the thing you get when you do Insert, Chart or add a new
chart slide to your presentation).
If you mean (what we'd call) slides, people fairly regularly create presentations
with 500 or more, though it's not a bad idea to break presentations that large up
into multiple linked presentations. That way you're not pushing the "all eggs, one
basket" envelope so hard and editing individual sections is faster.
Some great tutorials on that (and other awesome stuff) here

In any case, I'd certainly develop the habit of saving often, and saving to new
file names before doing anything major.
Shyam's Sequential Save add-in at
http://skp.mvps.org will make that part painless.
