[@mashafitness890]

How do I lock the PPT presentation without the box that appears so that my potential investors don't see it and so that I can just email it to clients and they can open it without having to hit the "Read only" key? Is there a way to do that?

[@peoples.say.masoom]

T
hank you! Straight to the point, beautiful, structured detailed explanation.

[@WhiteCrimson88]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO SEE!!! :D

[@PresentationProcess]

Wow, thank you

[@NeerajBharwani]

Hey, thanks for this tutorial, it's on the point and really helpful. I realized that the password protection gets removed when you upload this on Google slides making it completely editable. Any workaround to keep it read-only across platforms?

[@roopakamath8010]

Very Nicely explained and to the point. No unnecessary wastage of time. Can you tell me what is the application or instruments you use to record you Voice?

Thank you for this.
I did find that when I used “reuse slides” to insert the protected slide, it allowed me to edit the protected slide. Any ideas to get around that?

[@EnglishLanguageCentral]

Thank you very much. Just what I needed.

Is there a possibility of removing the warning of "read only". I mean the presentation should just open in read only without prompting any dialogue box. Is it possible?

[@rameshjain1227]

Sir when ever i use pen tool in slide show slide change in advance without any click while i made touch disable during using pen tool in my hp 360 laptop

[@solaracilegypt-188]

first thank you for your explanation .. but what if i want to protect my students from printing my document? not just editing

[@carlosaquilesmusic]

It appears you can edit and save and rename using google slides. Is there a way a person can only open a PPT file using only the PPT app and not other apps?

[@meenakshijoshi820]

Wonderful

[@swandipbanerjee2115]

Thank you, Brother.

[@BLACKPANTHER-qk5ph]

Whether if i am sending by mail, will it be protected

[@fadwashqair4562]

thank you very much it works

[@brunobarretostutz5663]

Hi! How to reverse the protection if the author forgets the password?

[@ReagenNazareth-on5or]

Good 🎥🎥🎥vedio

[@justinpeterson215]

In Excel, when the read-only option appears after you PW protect from modifications, the user can still "save as" onto their own personal folder. This way, they can edit the file as they please, they just can't override the original file. How do I get PPT to do this? Why is the Save as feature turned off???

[@sophoria]

Will hyperlinks still work when the presentation is locked?

[@browneye1968]

Good. Thank you for sharing

[@PianoP3nguin]

Is there a way to lock the Powerpoint while allowing the viewers to use the "hide slides" feature?

[@ashikurrahaman43]

loved it thanks

[@thequest4675]

Can I use PowerPoint 2016 without copyrights.

[@moderninstituteofcivilengi7190]

[@muhammadfaheem8493]

Hi Sir,
Can you please explain how to lock certain element or graphics of a ppt template from editing. Is this something that can be done without adding a password? Thank you

[@hebakhan6581]

you are awesome

[@pawil7876]

How if I want to protect only for footer (copyright text)

[@123shuvra]

thank you so much ....

[@AhmedAbouHalima]

thanks

[@simranwadhwani]

Thanku

[@silviyadeivaranig147]

sir.. even if I password protect, when I share it to mobile all the alignments change...how to prevent this?

[@thequest4675]

If the answer is no, then how can I make videos by using Powerpoint, avoiding copyrights.
Plz,reply

[@Farseem_Riasat]

Thanks a lot Sir . Accept Islam . May ALLAH bless you

[@irishnftgal]

Is there a way to do it for only some pages and some content?

[@PresentationProcess]

Hmm...not that I know of, at this time.

[@hadikallas43]

sad thing you can drag the protected PowerPoint file to online converter and then you can open it normally.
i hope there is a higher protection

[@dipakwakchaure2521]

when I send the ppt to mobile its not working. It opens without password as like simple powerpoint . Can we do something to protect the ppt on mobiles also.
