Protecting slides in a presentation

[Confused of Luton]

I have a presentation where I wish to prevent editing on all but one slide.
Can anyone tell me how this can be done? I'm using PowerPoint 2003 for this
presentation.
Many thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't have any solution. I'm not sure if there is A solution!

There are various workarounds - but none that will totally protect your work

Hi Jean-Pierre and TAJ

I think I've solved my own question!! I've set up a hyperlink to another
presentation related to the first one (in which I wanted to protect the
content.) In the second presentation, I've included a hyperlink back to the
first (protected) presentation. I then protected the first against editing
and it works! The second presentation can be edited to include specific
information that changes regularly, while the primary can "only" be edited by
me.

Thank you both for taking the time to contact me - it's good to know there
are friends like you "out there"
