| 322345 | 2005-02-07 04:29:00 | Is it possable to protect a Powerpoint 97 ppt file without macros, so that the file can't be placed on the interent, or if it is it won't work in the powerpoint plugin or player or whatever it is? | moldboy (4870) | ||
| 322346 | 2005-02-07 04:59:00 | What do you really mean? If it is a file it could be "placed on the internet" And if it is viewable using PowerPoint, I don't see how you would stop it being opened by the viewer. Of course you could zip the file using a password, and only give the password to those you actually want to open the file. But they could then post an unprotected version on the internet. You can also save the powerpoint file with a password. Perhaps you might explain more what you required outcome is? |

| 322347 | 2005-02-07 05:46:00 | You will never be able to stop the file being placed anywhere (including the net) if someone can access it and copy it, which will be dependant upon permissions at OS level. Tools|Options|Security tab - enter password to open and/or password to modify as required. This will require you saving the file as ppt on the next (ie for download rather than viewing). If you save as a web page you cannot protect the presentation. Alternatively you could save the slides into a non-editable format such as PDF or perhaps as a PPS slideshow. You should be aware that the encryption on MS Office files is not particularly strong, and its security has been likened to breaking into than a wet paper bag. If its that important you should use a specific encryption program. |
