A collegue of mine recently restored a file from the recycle bin that he
deleted on accident. It turns out it was the wrong file, i.e. had only 3
slides intead of the 30+ that he thought were there. Now the file he worked
hours on has only three slides and we can't figure out how to revert to the
older version of the file with 30+ slides. Does MS PP have a way to view
older versions of a file? (e.g. prior saves to a file)

Uavjoe,
I'm afraid PPT has not got the ability to restore previous versions.
But there is this add-in which may help you out in future:

Hi
Are they using Vista? If so, they can right-click the file -> restore
previous
versions. Did they e-mail it to anyone? If so have a look in their sent
items
or ask the recipient to send it back.
