You cannot protect presentations with a password in PowerPoint 2000 (226661)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft 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.
For a Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows version of this article, see 189547.
For a Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95 7.0 and earlier version of this article, see 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.
