Opening files protected by DRM

[pwith]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

The company I work for has decided to release all their pwoerpoint files in a protected format. On a PC these files can be opened by clicking on the 'read/only' button. On the Mac there is no such choice but merely a box that informs me that 'This presentation is protected by a password or Digital Righs Management (DRM). To access the presentation, you must have a version that is not protected by a password or DRM.

I was really surprised that you can bypass this on the PC but not on the Mac.

I'm not aware of a way to deal with this problem aside from asking for an
unprotected copy of the file.

If you want to see DRM support in Office for Mac, be sure to send feedback.
