passwords and saving in earlier version

[Thiefunny]

Hello!

I got some presetation in PP2003 and it is protected by my password
[tools/options/]. It works.

But when i'm going to save presentation in earlier version of PP [Save
as..97-2003 and 95] i have a warning that i will lose my password
protection. And it is true.

How can I protect my file with a password in PP2003 to be opened in earlier
version of PP and all the time be protected?

Sorry for my english
Plz help, it is important,

Hi,

Since password protection was not set up under versions of PowerPoint prior
to version 2002, those earlier versions can't handle the files created.
Other options include:

Unfortunately, you can't. the earlier versions of PowerPoint do not support
Password Protection. There are a few alternatives that can be seen here

Also, unless you really need to save your presentation as being backward
compatible with 95, just save your presentation as a presentation without the
versions. It can be read by all version from 97 onwards minus ay special effect
that apply to 2003 that are not available in earlier versions. These you can
turn off prior to making your presentation if needed.
