Hello,
If a PowerPoint presentation contains embedded fonts with a restrictive
license the message “This presentation cannot be edited because it contains a
read-only embedded font” is displayed by PowerPoint and the presentation is
opened in a non-editable mode.

How can I determine in a PowerPoint VBA-Macro if a presentation is opened in
such a non-editable mode or not???

Thanks for your help,
Mike

Try to modify the presentation in any way. Add a shape, move an existing shape,
anything. It'll throw an error if it's not editable.  Trap that and you're good to
go.
