Protect a PPT presentation

[drashish]

Hello,

I am a medical rsearcher who has done several powerpoint presentations. I distribute them to various studenbts woh request it. I would like to do so in a format that copyrights my file and will not allow anyone to steal images, backgrounds, templates, etc off of it. How can I save my ppt file to accomplish this.

Powerpoint 2002 has this capability under Tools|Options. I don't think it can be done on version 2000 or earlier but I could be wrong on the later part since I don't have earlier versions to test to.

juare's point is correct. You've got no password protection ability prior to 2k2. If you really want to protect these presentations, you should look into formal copyrights, since even with password protection, if soemone wants in...they'll get in.
