to search for ppt documents that begin with either Oct_ or Nov_ ?

You can't do it through the supplied Spotlight user interface.

I found a hint over on macosxhints.com that might do the job.

How about the following raw query:

Code:
(kMDItemFSName == "oct_*" || kMDItemFSName == "nov_*") &&
 kMDItemContentType == "presentation"wc
