Read only error when saving in power point
I have Power Point 2000 and am trying to save a presentation to disk or flash
drive. I get the following message: Cannot save 'D:\St. Paul Saint.ppt'. The folder is marked as read only'. Does anyone have a solution for me? I have tried re-saving with .ppt designation, I still get this message. I tried changing the security on the file, but evidentally 2000 doesn't allow that (or at least not that I could find). I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!

Have you tried saving to your hard drive and dragging the file over to the
D:\ drive (with Windows, not PowerPoint)? --David -- David M.

File Save As and pick a location on your hard drive (if it's just for a
temporary purpose, the desktop would probably work--just don't let what happened to me happen to you and let those "temporary files" build up until you have 100 of them on your desktop:-). Next, close PowerPoint. Then open My Computer and drag the file that you saved on your desktop to your D:\ drive. --David -- David M.

Read only error when saving in power point
It keeps saving as an image file. I cannot get it to save as a pp file.
Something is going really wrong here. I tried dragging it over to the D:/ drive, it says that this cd rom has been designated as a read only file. I then used my removable flash drive and it saved it as an image file again. "David M.

Read only error when saving in power point
What kind of disk is your D drive? If it is a flash drive, have you checked
to see if it is write protected? Some of them have a little switch on the side that write protects the device. If it is a CD, you can't write directly to it from PPT 2000. You will need to save it to your hard drive and then use your CD writing software. -- Kathy Jacobs, Microsoft MVP OneNote and PowerPoint Author of Kathy Jacobs on PowerPoint Get PowerPoint and OneNote information at www.onppt.com I believe life is meant to be lived.

Read only error when saving in power point
My D drive is a Sony rewritable CD burner. I also have a removable 2GB flash
drive. I do not see a switch on the side. When I try saving this file I am noticing that it is always saving as an image file and will try to open with imaging for Windows. It will not save as a powerpoint presentation. Do you think my version of powerpoint is corrupt? "Kathy Jacobs" wrote: What kind of disk is your D drive?

Read only error when saving in power point
Have you ever saved anything to your CD drive? It seems that either your
CD drive is CD-ROM (which is read-only) and not CD-RW (which allows you to write) or you don't have a writable disk in there. I wonder if this file is password protected so that it is not allowing you to save it as a PowerPoint file. What do you get when you choose Save As from the File menu? Are there any choices for type of file? --David -- David M.
