MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008Powerpoint 2008 for MAC
How do I set a password to open or modify a Powerpoint document? > How do I set a password to open or modify a Powerpoint document? Not sure about 2008, but no previous Mac versions support password protection. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Yup, Steve's right - PowerPoint 2008 for Mac doesn't support password protection. You can use the Finder file info pane to set the read and write permissions for the file, and I believe that this will be valid for Mac users. But whether that will prevent the file from being opened in PowerPoint 2007 for Windows, you'd have to try it out and see...

It might depend on how you moved the file from one place to another as well as on PPT internals. The permissions wouldn't be part of the file itself (as Windows/DOS understands files) but might come along for the ride as a separate file, as happens with Mac files that get written to Windows/DOS formatted storage media. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
