Protecting a ppt document

[Ted]

I have a need to protect a .ppt presentation without using
another product such as adobe acrobat. I know that both
Word and Excel allow for document protection under the
tools menu, but there is no equivalent function in ppt
that I can find.

Also, is there a way to designate a .ppt file as read-only?

Thanks,

Ted

Ted,

Read-only doesn't really protect a document. People can still open it...save
it under a new name...and their away!
Also right click, properties...untick read-only.

Powerpoint xp/2002 supports passwords

For other solutions on passwording or protecting a powerpoint presentation
