Preventing accidental slide deletion

[Rick Johnson]

I modify a weekly presentation from a template that has content changes on
the same pages on a week to week basis. However, most of the pages are
static. Is there a way to "Lock" the static pages so they wont get
accidentally deleted - like I did this week?

 

[John Wilson]

I dont think theres a way of locking just some slides from deletion. What I
sometimes do is have two presentations - the unchanging slides and the
changing slides- Edit the changing slides and then insert them into the main
presentation which is then saved with a new name. That way I know I cant
destroy the main slides.

Hope that makes sense.

Not really. You could have two presentations that link back and forth.
Keeping your changing slides in one and your static ones in the other. Here
is an excellent tutorial on how to do the linking

Or, you could use Shyam's Sequential Saves Addin

Try this handy add-in: http://skp.mvps.org/seqsave.htm

You can use it to save versions of your presention. I use it to save before
I get started, and then especially if I'm about the make any major changes to
it, like deleting slides.
