Protecting PPPresentation

[Kathy in Hawaii]

Is there any way to protect a PowerPoint Presentation?
We'd like to give it to people to show, but want to make
sure they are not able to make changes to it or take credit
for it. Can someone help me?

One way is to create a QuickTime Movie of your presentation. Open the
presentation, and then go to File > Make Movie to create the movie.

Another method is to save the presentation as a PDF file. If you are using
OS X, go to File > Print, and then click the "Save as PDF" button.

Unfortunately, just about all password protection methods that preserve the
file in PowerPoint format can be circumvented easily, at least on the Mac
platform.
