Locking PowerPoint 2003 Files
By Jane H
There will be times when you need to be able to lock a slide deck, so it’s read only. Perhaps, the presentation needs to be distrusted to an outside group and you don’t want the slides altered. Even if the presentation is used internally, locking your slides from modification can prevent the integrity of your work from being compromised.
OK, so I’ve convinced you that it is a good thing to do, but how is it accomplished? Fairly simply. Use the following steps to secure a presentation and then test your settings. Read more

When adding a drawing object to a PowerPoint presentation, follow these easy steps and you can create and format any one of the shapes.
Most AutoShapes are made up of several polygons. For example, a Block Arrow is really a rectangle and a triangle. PowerPoint provides a yellow diamond with the drawn object. This yellow diamond allows you to change the relative perspective of either of the two polygons. If an AutoShape is made up of more than two polygons, there will be more than one diamond.
1. Select your object from the drawing toolbar (Double-click to draw more than one of the object).
2. Move the cursor to where you want the object to appear.
3. Drag the mouse to draw the object. Hold the shift key down while drawing to maintain symmetry/alignment.
4. Use the yellow diamond to change the relative perspective of Auto Shapes.
5. Right-click on the object and select Format from the menu to change any attribute of the object.
