[Sammy]

Is there a way to password protect a PowerPoint presentation?

Hi Sammy,

Thanks Glenna but I was looking for something that was already built into
PowerPoint not something to purchase.

Sammy,

Glenna's link is to the PPT FAQ. It describes all the options for
password protection. There are some built-in options in some versions.
For versions prior to 2002, you need options that are not built-in. It
also describes the difficulty with using password protection (mainly lack
of compatibility with older versions).
