Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / August 2007Opening a Powerpoint password protected file
I need to open a password protected Powerpoint file on my Powerbook G4. I have Office v.X, the Home and Student edition. Office 2004 for Mac doesnt have the capability, I dont know about Office 2008 for Mac that will be out in January. Is it possible to use Virtual PC and a windows version of Powerpoint to be able to open a password protected powerpoint file?

Mac PPT versions don't support passwords, but you're on the right track. If you have PPT 2002 or later (Windows versions) and know the password, you can open the file in any of them then save an unprotected version that should open ok on your Mac. ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ And to add my 2 cents, please be sure to send feedback to Microsoft that they should eliminate this incompatibility. Use the feedback choice in PowerPoint's help menu to send the message.
