Finding Autosaved file for powerpoint on a Mac

I am working on a powerpoint presentation on my mac. The mac froze and I had to force quit and reboot the mac. My last save was 2hrs previous but autosave was set for 10mins. I'm usually a save often nut but didn't this time. I can't seem to find the folder for recovering this file and it didn't appear when I re-opened powerpoint. How do I recover Auto saved files?
