How do I unlock read only Power Point that I created?

[J Bernard]

I opened several presentations that I created and they are read-only (I
cannot edit). Power Point will not let me save as a new name. How do I
change from read-only?

 

[Michael Koerner]

In Windows Explorer, right click the file, select properties, and remove the
check mark from Read Only.

Michael: I tried to un-check but Read Only was not checked. The message I
am getting is "document cannot be edited because it contains read-only
embedded fonts".
Any help is appreciated.

What version of PowerPoint do you have, and do you receive any messages when
you open the presentation?

If so and the messages refer to embedded fonts, have a look here:

PowerPoint opens presentations as Read-Only, won't allow editing when fonts
embedded

I don't know yet. I discovered the embedded font was Garamond and I am
trying to locate a website so I can download. The least expensive I found
was $22 pounds. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Garamond covers a broad spectrum of different named fonts. There are a
number of free downloads if you just enter Garamond Font into Google.
