If you are worried about them seeing things that are hidden, you could strip them out before you save.

To find the security goto the tools menu > options, and then click the security tab.

I would still save as *.pps.

Don't think it will work as pp2003 can still open it for editing

He is using 2000 which apparently doesn't have that feature as per previous posts

284420 2004-10-25 20:42:00 With PP2000 can you save as *.jpg then export each slide as an image. Depending on how many slides there are it would be quick to create another slide show using the jpg's Rob99 (151)
284421 2004-10-25 20:47:00 That will work fine, but better to save as a *.bmp 45South (4769)
284422 2004-10-25 22:16:00 Oooooookay . . . . . . . . . . . . . . No security in PP2000 and PPS is able to be opened in PP2003 . :( I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet here and send a version with the speakers notes stripped out . There will be 50-60 slides in all (long session) so exporting as jpg or bmp will probably be too time consuming, but I'll consider that option . Looking at the "save as" options nothing says that you are only saving the current slide for the graphics file options either but I guess that is a given?

Send it to me & I'll lock it & send it back.

Could he use the free PDF995 programme?
