While I can not answer most of your comments, I can about
creating a slide show. You need to learn to save the slide show file
much more often. I, personally recommend saving the file every five
to ten minutes at the maximum. I also advise saving the file after
completing any slide that is fairly complicated. And I mean save it
as in File > Save or clicking the Save icon that often. While this
does increase the amount of time required to produce a slide show, it
does eliminate having to recreate the slide show.
