I found this on PC World. It is titled "Office XP Tips: Password-Protect PowerPoint Presentations" and is located at the url: http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,84408,00.asp Will this help? I will give you a gentle warning: If you forget the password you choose for your Presentation, you are out of luck legally. Illegally, someone may help you for a ridiculous fee. Microsoft will not help you restore a forgotten password. I hope this helps. Good luck.
