Make my presentation ready only but allow changes and save as...
I don't want anyone to be able to save over the original. I need to keep the
original intact but allow people to makes changes to the file and be able to save it into their own folder. |

I don't think you can do this. At least, I can't think of a way. I suppose if you mark the file as Read Only in Windows Explorer, they'll at least have to use Save As to save their changes. It's definitely not infallible, though, so I'd be sure to keep a copy of the original someplace safe. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ PPTLive!

About all you can do is mark the file as read-only (rightclick its icon in Windows Explorer, choose Properties and mark it read only). And hope for the best. Anyone who knows this trick can change it back to read/write. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
