[Kathy Johnson]

How can I save a Powerpoint slide presentation so that it
cannot ever be changed by the viewer. I will give it to
him on a rewritable disk. thanks.

You can save it as Read-Only, so changes cannot be saved
to it. Right-click on the file > select Properties. In the
General Tab, go to Attributes at the bottom and select
Read-Only.

Thanks, but consider: anyone can reverse the process the same way.
