Powerpoint Master slide

Can you master fix a graph table format to ensure consistency, and only allow people to input the data table that automatically produces the graphs / charts ?

I need to have staff in various countries compile performance data on bar graphs and pie charts, but need to fix the style and formatting, so only the data can be amdended on a monthly basis. I need to stop too much variation in formats being introduced

RE: Powerpoint Master slide

Hi Paul, Thank you for your post, in answer to your question, you can set security on your presentation which will only two options, you can set a password to allow only certain users with that password to open it, and/or you can set a password that only allows those users who have the password to modify the presentation.
Follow these steps; in your presentation; select the menu option; Tools>Options and click the Security Tab, on this tab you have the two options mentioned above, apply the settings you require, and click OK. I hope that has helped, if so please click the Resolved link, best regards Pete.

Powerpoint tip:

Reduce PowerPoint file sizes

In PowerPoint, images often take up a lot of space which can lead to difficulties when it comes to emailing files. Luckily PowerPoint does contain some tools to help deal with this issue.

1. Disable the Fast Save feature - so that any changes you make will be immediately reflected in the file size. Go to Tools > Options > Save and deselect 'Allow fast saves'.

2. PowerPoint has an inbuilt compression tool, which is located on the Picture Toolbar.

If the Picture toolbar is not visible on your screen, go to View > Toolbars > Picture.

To compress or reduce the size of a picture, select the picture then click the Compress Pictures button on the Picture Toolbar. You can also right-click on a picture to access the option to compress it.
