Hello!

Thanks for your answer, but I want the user to be able to view the 
Presentation but not to modify it in any way (I try to implement a 
PowerPoint Viewer for my application).

In Word I can use the protect method to prohibit any modification but I 
wasnt able to find such a method for powerpoint!
