Whenever I try to open a Pocket PowerPoint file, I get a message saying that file is "read-only". What does this mean?
Microsoft Pocket PowerPoint was designed to let you view and display presentations you have created on your PC. It does not provide the tools you need to edit the file once you have transferred it to your Handheld PC, except for a feature that lets you add a Title Slide to your presentation. This is why the following message appears when you open a Pocket PowerPoint file on your Handheld PC.
