If you open PowerPoint and it doesn't offer any restore option, then look inside the Microsoft User Data folder which should be in your Documents. There should be an Office 2011 Auto-Recovery folder. See if there is a powerpoint document in there.

Thanks, then - unless it was moved elsewhere - someplace in your Documents folder there will be a folder called

Microsoft User Data

Use Spotlight and type

Microsoft User Data

or type

AutoRecovery

Note that autorecovery is one word.

One or the other should show up.

Then do view all in finder

1. I was trying to recover an unsaved file (I never saved it, was working on the document from the start) and had my computer on for around 15 days. I think I just assumed that I saved it at some point since I was working on it for so long and every time my Mac went off, the file would pop back up when it switched back on, until one day, where it didn't.

My main problem was that the folder that saves all the auto-recovered files wasn't located in the place it was supposed to be. It was in some random hidden folder (which I wouldn't have been able to locate unless I turned on the show hidden folders command).

It wasn't even located in a Microsoft Office folder, as I said, completely random folders.

All I can say is – don't give up! If I can find my unsavedfile I'm sure you can too. Just make sure you locate that folder (Office 2011 Autorecovery) and go from there. autorecovery files in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011

2. Time Machine would only help you in the future. Is your Mac set up with Time Machine? If so you should be able to get the deleted files that way. Click the Time Machine icon in the dock. Then go back to before you deleted the files, they are probably still available. f you don't have a Time Machine backup yet, then your best option would probably be uFlysoft Data Recovery for Mac software.

Did you look in

Documents

for a folder

Microsoft User Data

for a folder

Office 2011 AutoRecovery

Anything in there?

Are you using Office 2011 or Office 2008?

Or when you said powerpoint in lowercase did you mean Apple's Keynote?
