Protecting Slide while Editing Notes

[Guest]

Is it possible to protect slides while still allowing the notes to be edited?
I have multiple instructors using one slide show. I can't risk them editing
the content of the slide, however, I want them to create their own notes.

You could convert the slides to images then reimport those into a new
presentation. The images would be all but impossible to change, but the users
would be free to add whatever notes they like.

Drawbacks:

1) You can't animate images; if animation is important to your presentation,
this solution won't work for you

2) Users could still add content atop the images or conceivably delete them
altogether. There's really no way to stop a *determined* malicious user.

We have an inexpensive addin that automates the process in case you don't relish
the thought of doing all this manually. Have a look at the Protect addin at

I just want to give a thumbs up for Steve's Protect add-in. I use it a
*lot,* and it works great for this kind of thing.
