How do I remove the "Read Only" designation from PowerPoint?

[mjfitz]

I have a presentation where I want to make some changes sent to me from an
associate. How do I, without having it resent, remove the "Read Only"
designation?

 

[John Wilson]

Depends why it's read only

If it's passworded to modify you will have to ask for an unpassworded copy
or the password

If it on a CD > copy it to your hard drive

If it has a read only property set either save with a new name or right
click > properties >untick read only

I tried your suggestion, however, when I open in PowerPoint 2003 from a
PowerPoint 2003, that "read only" dialog box doesn't appear. Just the
password dialog does and it wasn't send as password protected.
