how to create an uneditable powerpoint slides

[newdheep]

hello how to create powerpoint slides that are uneditable, that has
more security option for not copying or any sorts like this?

First thing that comes to mind - take a look in PPt Help using the search
term Powerpoint Movie. That may serve the intended purpose.

Otherwise, please provide more detail on what you are trying to accomplish.

Hello,

The reason why you want to create slides that can not be edited is
somewhat related to the answer to your question.

Are you worried about copyright? Your presentation, whether editable or
not, is covered by copyright law (in the USA at least).

There are options including to Save As Movie, and 3rd party products
such as Impatica.

But if someone sees your presentation, the cat is already out of the bag
unless you can figure out a way to erase the memory of the audience.

for the students to read in a server. but my other collegues they just
copy and include their name in the slides. my hard earned creativity

way to have uneditable ppt's. as per ur suggestion i checked for the
slides saving in the format of movie, but that extension is not
figuring out in the drop down menu during save option. so plz provide

Perhaps this question should have been answered first - What version of
PowerPoint are you using?

It sounds like you may be on a Windows PC version, *not* the Macintosh
version. If so the instructions will be different, so please give complete
information in order to be guided in the right direction.

I use windows XP and office 2003 version.
i donot want to convert my slides to images. i want to retain my
animation schemes as it is and must not be able to modify.

thanks and regards,

 

[CyberTaz]

See TAJ's suggestion re Password to Modify or,

save a copy using File>Save as Web page, or

use File>Package for CD, click Options & apply a PW to Modify Each File.

AFAIK, each of those options will support your animations & won't 'convert'
slides to pictures. For other possiblities post to the *Windows* PowerPoint
newsgroup.

As said by others, if someone wants to pirate your work they will find a
way, but you may find that these options will prevent anyone from changing
the content displayed in the original file.

 

[abelz22]

When you convert the powerpoint to flash, the animation schemes will be
retained, what's more, it cann't be modified, and you can set password
for your flash to limit the file visitor.

Good luck!

Hello,
i prepare my slides for my lecture classes. we are supposed to place it
for the students to read in a server. but my other collegues they just
copy and include their name in the slides. my hard earned creativity
and work is being copied and changed within minutes.

This is called plagiarism and would probably be grounds for dismissal at any
reputable academic institution. I would suggest that you file a formal
complaint against the people who're plagiarizing your work.

If you like, we can show you a couple ways of hiding little bits of information
that prove that it's yours.

For starters, you can supply your name as Author and add other keywords and
comments in Document Properties. Include a custom property or two with e.g. a
coded version of your name.

Choose View, Master, Slide Master and drop in a bit of text ... "This
presentation was stolen from [your name]" for example. Make it very small,
move it to the very bottom of the slide and assign it the same color as the
background.

When challenged, all you need to do is select the text and change the color to
make it visible again. That'd pretty well prove it's your work and not the
plagiariast's.

If you want to take it a few steps beyond, there are other tricks.

We could probably even teach the presentation to view normally but print a nice
big "PLAGIARISM SUCKS" in the middle of each slide when printed to a b/w
printer.

thats why i need a

way to have uneditable ppt's. as per ur suggestion i checked for the
slides saving in the format of movie, but that extension is not
figuring out in the drop down menu during save option. so plz provide
me more help.
