MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008How do I remove the "Read Only" designation from PowerPoint?
I have a presentation where I want to make some changes sent to me from an associate. How do I, without having it resent, remove the "Read Only" designation? Depends why it's read only If it's passworded to modify you will have to ask for an unpassworded copy or the password If it on a CD > copy it to your hard drive If it has a read only property set either save with a new name or right click > properties >untick read only  SignatureAmazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk > I have a presentation where I want to make some changes sent to me from an > associate.

I tried your suggestion, however, when I open in PowerPoint 2003 from a PowerPoint 2003, that "read only" dialog box doesn't appear. Just the password dialog does and it wasn't send as password protected. > Depends why it's read only > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > associate.

If you don't know the password, you won't be able to remove that by resaving. If you have the password, you should be able resave to a new PPT file with no password protection. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
