Having designed an interactive pps using editable text boxes......I want the
user to be able to save the completed 'test' as an individual file...instead
of just saving the changes to the 'master file' any suggestions please....

Many thanks

Wouldn't using the Save As option with a new filename work?

- Set the original file as Read Only, which wouldn't totally prevent a
determined user from overwriting the original but would stop most people. Then
on the last slide, include instructions that ask them to save as you wish them
to.

- In some circumstances, VBA code can automate the job for you.
