Re: Permissions icon

Hi Val,

The permissions button is on the Standard toolbar in PowerPoint 2003. It looks like a blank document with a small red circle and the bottom right hand corner and a white rectangle on it. If you click the button you can then sign up for a free trial service. However, it also needs to be installed on the recipient machine when you send a presentation to them.

If you would like to protect your document, on a password protect it? Go to the tools menu, options, security , and use the password to modify option.

I have MS Office 2003, Student/Teacher Ed. I work from a home office and am
not networked on the server of my employer's office (although I could arrange
that if necessary). I'm simply trying to find out if I can enable the
Permissions feature so that I can have some of my co-workers review my
slideshows without having full access to make changes. Maybe this feature is
only available in the Pro version??

I'm pretty sure you need specific versions of Office plus an information rights
server on your network. Check with your IT people. If you don't have IT
people, you probably don't have an information rights server or a version of
Office that supports it, so the feature won't be available.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Maybe there's another approach.
