Jun 21, 2016 11:40 AM in response to jcmckinnby Kingemac,Wow, this just saved my day! Thanks a lot!!! the terminal thing with the "open $TMPDIR" worked, when nothing else did. however, after opening with "TextEdit" I further had to export from there to a PDF. because simply copy & pasting from TextEdit to Word created some problems (spaces/numbers between every character). With the PDF save that problem was gone.

Jul 25, 2016 11:56 PM in response to scott163by zerofromanchorage,- Take a deep breath. Everything’s going to be ok.
- Open Finder.
- Mouse up to the main menu bar and select Go.
- Hold down Option on your keyboard and select Library from the drop-down menu when it appears.
- In the finder window, browse to Library > Containers > com.microsoft.Powerpoint > Data > Library > Preferences > AutoRecovery
- Select the file you’re looking to recover and rename with a .ppt extension.
- Move the file to the desktop, or another handy location.
- Reopen, and pick up where you left off.
Maybe you can try uFlysoft Data Recovery for Mac, it can recover LOST DATA on Mac only in three steps:
Step 1. Launch the software to scan the device where your files deleted
Step 2: Preview the scan result files and make mark if it is the one you find
Step 3: Recover files

Jul 28, 2016 8:44 AM in response to scott163by LizTheBiz,Guys, I found the solution!!! For those of you whose file path isn't as cut an dry as the previous posts here, there's a way to find out what it is, and track your autorecovery, where ever the heck it lives.
First, go to ->Spotlight Search->Terminal-> in the terminal command window type find * -iname 'autorec*'
**DO NOT ALTER THIS COMMAND, COPY AND PASTE FROM HERE STARTING WITH find and ending with '**
This should then spit out the file path for our autorecovery, for example:
Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery
This is different for every computer, so yours maybe different than what I have listed up above.
Next, open Finder, click Go from the dropdown menus up top ->Go To Folder-> /users/"your user name"/from here copy and paste the file path that was given to you in Terminal. Again, mine was Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery. My entry into Go To Folder looked like this: /Users/"my username"/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRe covery
Voila! This should open your autorecovery folder. Hope this helps.

Aug 11, 2016 4:19 AM in response to jcmckinnby RamBami,Can't thank you enough jcmckinn! Managed to recover a slightly earlier version using your suggestion, and formatting was all messed up, but small issues compared to re-writing the whole article from scratch... will still be haunted by the wheel of death for a while though!
