MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2005How do I unlock read only Power Point that I created?
I opened several presentations that I created and they are read-only (I cannot edit). Power Point will not let me save as a new name. How do I change from read-only? In Windows Explorer, right click the file, select properties, and remove the check mark from Read Only.

How do I > change from read-only? What version of PowerPoint do you have, and do you receive any messages when you open the presentation? If so and the messages refer to embedded fonts, have a look here: PowerPoint opens presentations as Read-Only, won't allow editing when fonts embedded http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00637.htm ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve: I have Power Point 2002 SP3.

There are a number of free downloads if you just enter Garamond Font into Google.

There are probably several versions of Garamond out there. You do NOT want to purchase it from Adobe. Not that there's anything wrong with their fonts, far from it, but it'll be a Type1/PS font and since those can't be embedded in PPT, it's a sure thing that the Adobe version won't solve your problem. Garamond ships as a TrueType font with several MS products. For some bizarre reason, it appears to be part of all versions of Office *but* 2002 though. Have a look here to see if you can confirm my reading of it: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx Perhaps you have one of the other products that includes Garamond, though, and can install it from there. > Steve: > > I have Power Point 2002 SP3. As I understand it, the same info applies to 2002 SP3 as to PPT 2003. > J Bernard > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
