How to Protect a PowerPoint File from Editing?

Buzz

I have a PowerPoint file, but I don't want others to edit, delete, or modify its content. I only want them to view it. Can Mytour guide me on how to achieve this? Thank you very much.

Answer:

To prevent others from editing, copy the content of the PowerPoint file and provide them with viewing access only. The simplest way to do this is to follow our steps below:

Mytour recommends using the latest version of PowerPoint 2013 for accessing new and useful features. Download and install PowerPoint 2013

Step 1:

Choose the folder containing the file you want to protect.

Step 2: Right-click and select Rename.

Step 3: Change the extension from PPT to PPS. Press Enter.

Step 4: A dialog box will appear, select Yes.

The result after changing the file will be as follows:

When you click on the file, it will always open in Full Screen mode, preventing editing. Therefore, your file will always be safe, and its content cannot be altered.
