PowerPoint- "Read-Only"

L

Laura M

A presentation was created by a previous user and now says "Read-Only" when I
try to edit it. Can I override this?

Is it password protected? If not, what are the file Properties? Go to My
Computer, locate the file, right click and select Properties. If it has Read
Only checked or colored in, click on the box to uncheck it and turn Read Only
off, and then close the dialog and open the presentation in PowerPoint.
