Right click on the file and select properties. One of those properties is
read only.

It is also possible that the presentation has been saved with a password.
If this is the case you can not re-save it without the password.

Save it to your local hard drive then copy to the USB key.

If you get the same message when saving to the hard drive, let us know.
