How to protect PowerPoint show so viewer can ONLY view?

[Len]

I've got Windows XP. I know I can protect a PowerPoint with a password to
modify but the viewer can still copy & paste and save file under a different
name.

Is there any way to allow viewer ONLY to view, i.e. not copy & paste, not
save file under a different name?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Thanks for your reply "Echo S."

I did check out the web-site but I was NOT able to find an answer to my
(supervisor's) questions. Specifically, if the PP presentation is password
protected, can a viewer print, copy & paste and/or save (under a different
name) the slide show?

The answers may be there, but my computer literacy is pretty basic.

In sum, my supervisor wants to protect her slide show from any of the above
(print, copy & paste, save). Is that possible and if so, how?

THanks again!

In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, I found the following in Help:

Create content with restricted permission
Note You can create content with restricted permission using
Information Rights Management only in Microsoft Office Professional Edition
2003, Microsoft Office Word 2003, Microsoft Office Excel 2003, and Microsoft
Office PowerPoint 2003.

1.. Start Microsoft Office Word 2003, Microsoft Office Excel 2003,
or Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, and create a new document, workbook, or
presentation.
2.. On the File menu, point to Permission, and then click Do Not
Distribute.
3.. In the Permission dialog box, select the Restrict permission to
this <file type> check box.
4.. In the Read and Change boxes, type the names or e-mail addresses
of people you want to give permission to.
If you want to give all users permission, click Give all users Read
access to the right of the Read box, or click Give all users Change access
to the right of the Change box.

5.. Click OK, save your document, workbook, or presentation, and
distribute to the people with permission.

Thank you for your lightning-quick reply!

I tried going to "File" but could not locate the "Permission" option. I have
Windows XP - perhaps not available here?

It's for Office 2003, nothing to do with your operating system. Previous
Office versions didn't have this feature...
