Good morning (well, maybe for some
of you but if you read this posting,
you'll see it is definitely not a
good one for me),
I posted the messages below to
WinTips and Tricks last night and
this morning
and decided to cross post them here
since it concerns a PowerPoint file.
If anyone has any ideas to help me
open this temp file I would be
eternally grateful.
Thanks.
Diane

Hi all,
My husband spent a couple of hours
last night trying to recover this
document for me with Norton
Utilities using a feature called
something like resuce of missing or
deleted files. He was not
successful, but during the process
did find a temp file that was time
stamped only an hour before I ruined
it all. The problem is that he
couldn't find a way to open that
temp file. So that's my new
question...is there a way to open
such a file? The temp file
(filename ?PT5345.TMP)is in the same
directory as the PowerPoint file
I was working on.
Thanks again for any help.
Diane
