After one creates a powerpoint presentation, how do you save it (and
email it) so that no one can edit that presentation? I emailed my
presentation and the recipient said that she could have changed it if
she wanted to.
Is there a way to lock the darn thing? Thanks.

Try this alternative :
Convert your powerpoint to flash.
A flash presentation will prevent others from editing, coping your
file at will and
a flash presentation can play with a web browser , not need PowerPoint
or PowerPoint viewer.
For convert powerpoint to flash, you need a converter like PPT2Flash
Standard
