Hi,

Read-Only can be accomplished several ways.

If Person A attempts to open a presentation on a shared volume that's
already open by someone else, then Person A will be allowed to open the
presentation Read-Only, or not at all.

Any file can be opened Read-Only using File > Open and clicking the
pop-up in next to "Open:" and choose Read-only.

When a file is not open in PowerPoint, use Finder. Select the file name,
then press APPLE+I on the keyboard, or use File > GetInfo. In the
GetInfo dialog box, in the sharing section set Read/Write and Read-only
as desired.

-Jim
