PowerPoint - How do you lock a P-point presentation so that it can't be edited?

After one creates a powerpoint presentation, how do you save it (and
email it) so that no one can edit that presentation? I emailed my
presentation and the recipient said that she could have changed it if
she wanted to.

Is there a way to lock the darn thing? Thanks.

What version of PPT are you using?

Hi,

I am using Powerpoint that is part of MS Office (Professional) 2003.
Thanks.

Try this alternative :
Convert your powerpoint to flash.

A flash presentation will prevent others from editing, coping your
file at will and
a flash presentation can play with a web browser , not need PowerPoint
or PowerPoint viewer.

For convert powerpoint to flash, you need a converter like PPT2Flash
Standard

More details about PPT2Flash Standard are available from
