PowerPoint presentation protection challenge

[laurenm]

Hi all,

I have a dilemma. I have a PowerPoint presentation that I need to distribute
to both Mac and PC users. I need to protect the presentation from being
changed or from being saved as a different name and used from there. I also
do not know the versions of PowerPoint the recipients have. I know that not
all versions of PowerPoint support modify password protection and I know I
can use the PowerPoint viewer but I am not sure if a Mac can view a slide
show in PowerPoint viewer. I also know that PrezGuard and Secure Pack maybe
options, but again, I'm not sure if this will work with the Mac users. Does
anyone know of a solution that will work so that the recipients can view my
presentation in slide show view? Should I just export the slides as pictures
and then reimport to a new presentation or create PDF files of the slides?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Lauren M

Mac users can download Mac PowerPoint Viewer 98(check this out:
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00153.htm). If your presentation is kept
simple, it should run fine. Otherwise, you might want to consider
distributing the presentation as a movie or flash.
