SUMMARY
=======
Some programs provide the ability to password protect files created in that
program. Microsoft PowerPoint does not provide any password protection
capabilities for presentations.
PowerPoint also does not provide the ability to protect the contents of a
presentation from modification. You cannot have a presentation which you can
view but not edit. When you open a PowerPoint presentation you can always edit
the contents.
NOTE: PowerPoint 98 does provide the ability to password protect macro code
stored within a presentation.
