"-old" file
Mar 16, 2012

When one of my narrators goes into a presentation to narrate his portion, his narration saves just fine, but I lose the old narration (a different speaker, on different slides) into what I think is a new file that forms with "-old" after its name. I can't open the "-old" one because it says it can't find the associated presentation (the actually Powerpoint, I assume, since there isn't one with the "-old" name).
I think my old audio is hiding in that "-old" file because the file appears really large, but I can't open it to export the audio.
Does anyone know how to open the "-old" one? I tried doing a search but searching for "-old" is tough!

My tech guy managed to recover my old presentation/audio (and I had exported my new audio in the meantime, so can now import that, so I'm in better shape than when I first posted this question.
I still wouldn't mind some insight into why this is happening and what I can do to prevent it. Thanks.
Hi Amy!
You can learn all about the -old.ppta file, and how to recover your missing audio from it, starting with the fourth section in this helpful article. Hope that helps
Thanks! I knew there must be information somewhere, just couldn't get far searching for "-old". : )
Happy to help, Amy!
