Hi, I opened a read-only powerpoint file, did couple changes and now want to close it without saving but I'm getting this dialog which has no button for "don't save", how do I close that file?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4
Click Cancel and then try File > Close > Don't Save.

I just saved the file and then deleted it from Finder, no biggie. I was just astonished since it was the first time ever I saw a program not having a way to *not* save a file.
Interestingly it must have something to do with the fact that the file is opened in read-only mode by Powerpoint since when I create a new file, Powerpoint always asks whether to save it or not on closure.
Strange bug...
Then I guess you will need to force quit the app and/or reboot your computer.

I've already tried that, it leads to exactly the same dialog with no "Don't Save" button 🙁
Indeed. I had tested with a read-only file here, but it closed normally for me with the Don't Save option.

How to close powerpoint file without saving it?
