Comparison of protection methods
The table below shows a comparison between the different solutions and features we’ve explored. Some of them can be combined based on your needs. For example, you might want to add password to modify and add object lock to create the level of protection you want.
Recommendation
Having tested the various portugal mobile number mechanisms, BrightCarbon recommends the following workflow to add the ultimate protection to your valuable PowerPoint files on the basis that you don’t want recipients to be able to extract/copy/repurpose/steal your content:
Three text boxes in a row with a plus sign in between each.
Note that since the required UI to add the encryption in step three has been disabled in step one, the encryption must be enabled via the VBE (Visual Basic Editor) using this command:
CommandBars.ExecuteMso "FileDocumentEncrypt"
Conclusion
There is a plethora of tools at your disposal to protect your valuable content whilst maintaining its design integrity. Some are better than others, and if you want to distribute a native PowerPoint file, you probably need a combination of approaches. The features exist in multiple places in the PowerPoint user interface due to their historical development, in other words it’s messy!
