How do you restrict access to powerpoint files in Office 2003?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I tried using Info. Rights Mgmt. to restrict access, but....with no success.

I can set the "read only" restriction quite easily, but I find that the
recipient can easily change his/her permission (access level) by simply
clicking "change permission" in the Status window and typing his/her email
into the "change" box. By so doing, they immediately are able to change
their level of access from "read" to "change". (Note....another issue I have
is that although I select "read", the access comes back as "Restrict
Distribution"...I like the restriction, but didn't expect it, given my
selection).

If it's that easy for the recipient/reader to make such a change, then my
intent - to restrict access to read only - is futile.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?????
