Protecting presentation content

How do I security protect my presentations so when I email them to others they cannot edit / use the template

RE: Protecting presentation content

Hello Nick

Thank you for your question.

Maybe you could try setting a password to modify the file, and see if that helps. So the person should in theory be able to open the presentation; but they need to know the password you've set in order to make any changes to it.

To do this:

1. Click the Office button in the top left corner of the screen
2. Choose Save As.
3. In the bottom left corner of the Save As dialog box, click on the Tools button.
4. Select General Options from the dropdown options.
5. Enter a password in the Password to Modify box, and click OK.

Please do be aware that if you forget the password you set, even you will be unable to make changes to the file.

Please let me know if this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda

PowerPoint tip:

How to create an invisible Hyperlink

Draw a shape onto your slide covering the text you would want to use as your hyperlink. Insert your hyperlink on the shape, but then go the the paint bucket and choose no fill and then go the line colour and choose no line.

When you now run your slide show and hover over the word, you get a hyperlink.
