You cannot protect presentations with a password in PowerPoint 2000

This article was previously published under Q226661

SUMMARY

For a Microsoft PowerPoint 2001 for Macintosh, PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition version of this article, see 188732  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=188732/ ) .
For a Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows version of this article, see 189547  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=189547/ ) .
For a Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95 7.0 and earlier version of this article, see 179539  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=179539/ ) .
PowerPoint 2000 does not allow you to password protect your presentations. You can password protect VBA projects that are a part of your presentation, but not the presentation itself.

This is done to maintain file compatibility with PowerPoint 97 and PowerPoint 98, which also does not support password protection.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
