Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / October 2006How to Edit an amusing PPS presentation received through e-mail?
Is there a way to stop and then edit any of those amusing 'automatically run' .pps files (usually received via e-mail from friends) ? How can I 'break into' a .pps in order to, say, change some of the text and re-save? I've been searching MS web-sites for clues as to how to 'lock' a presentation in the hope it would explain how to 'unlock' Any suggestions? There are a number of things that could have been done to "lock" the presentation, but the most likely thing is that it is not locked at all. If it simply a .pps file, save the file to your hard drive, open PowerPoint, then open the presentation through the File menu and choosing Open. This will allow you to edit, whether it is funny or not. --David  SignatureDavid M.

Thanks David! Feel a bit sheepish that I didn't work that out for myself... > There are a number of things that could have been done to "lock" the > presentation, but the most likely thing is that it is not locked at all.
