PowerPoint on Web- allow to be used, save from altering

[Hepp-Kondas]

Our nonprofit has created a 14 slide powerpoint presentation (version 2007)
and will post it on our website. I would like educators (or anyone else) to
be able to download and use it in their classrooms, as is. I do NOT want
them to be able to change the notes or slides. Is there a way to do this so
that they have access to both the slides and the notes (speech) that go with
it?
Thank you,
Nancy

Thanks, Steve. If I post the password for everyone right on the website,
will that allow folks to download and use the powerpoint without changing it?
I don't want to restrict its use, I just want to keep anyone from downloading
it and changing it. It deals with the effects of very dangerous street drugs
and the causes of addiction.
Can you refer me to an article about how to attach the password?

Very helpful! Thank you.

You don't want to post the password ... that'd allow anyone to modify the
presentation. With a MODIFY password, the user will be asked for a password when
they open the presentation but given a chance to bypass that and just open the
presentation read-only.


You can't keep them from downloading it, but they won't be able to change it.


PowerPoint's help has a link to a video demo and a decent article on the subject.

Search on "password"

Basically, choose File, Save or Save as
On the lower left of the save dialog box, click Tools
Click General Options
Type in a password for "Password to modify" (but not "to open"
