Locking pages on Powerpoint

[JimWP]

I am creating presentations for my clients to use. I want them to be able to
add pages, in the middle or end of the presentation, but I do not want them
to be able to change content on the pages I provide. Is there a way to lock
individual pages, rather than the entire PowerPoint document?

You could create images of the slides. File | Save As, choose PNG as the
file type. Then reinsert those images into a new blank presentation. If you
have speaker notes or want to maintain slide titles for navigation, use RnR
Protect, which is designed exactly for this type of thing.

Otherwise, you're kind of stuck. Either you let the users make changes to
the file or not. Moving/adding slides is a change, just like editing an
individual slide is also a change. And PPT is all-or-nothing when it comes
to making changes.

I would like to lock my entire powerpoint. However, when I click on tools
there is no option to "lock contents" where do I find the button to lock the
presentation? Thanks,
