Saving an Exercise

[Guest]

I created an exercise and saved it as a PPS file. I'm using it to send to my
students via e-mail. Is there any coding or anything I can do so that when
the students complete the exercise they can save it to their hard drive?

Thanks,

Kev

To complete the exercise they will need to use powerpoint.

A why use a pps file?
B If they open it or rename to a .ppt file they can save it.

I'm using a PPS file because I don't want them to change the content of the
exercise just answer the questions and save it to there hard drive when they
are done for future reference. I wasn't sure if it's even possible to write
VB for something like that.

Then a PPS won't help. Anyone with PowerPoint can open and edit them.
Start PPT, choose File, Open, browse to your PPS file and you're in.

That aside ...

What will/won't work in email depends more on the email system than anything else.

You could send them a self-extracting EXE file; they'd run it, it'd save the
presentation to the HDD or wherever they choose; they could run the presntation
from there.
