How to cancel the 'read-only mode' of PowerPoint?

php editor Xigua will answer for you: How to cancel the "PowerPoint "read-only mode""? When using PowerPoint, sometimes you will encounter a situation where the document is set to read-only mode, so that the user cannot edit the file. To cancel only Read mode can be achieved through simple operations. Next, we will introduce the detailed steps to cancel the read-only mode of PowerPoint so that you can easily solve this problem.

First, we need to see which "read-only mode" PPT is set to.

The PPT file is set to passwordless "read-only mode" and can be opened directly but cannot be edited. The prompt "Open as read-only to prevent accidental changes" is displayed under the menu bar.

In this mode of "read-only mode", if you want to edit the file, you only need to click the [Edit Anyway] option on the right side of the prompt to edit it.

If you want to remove the passwordless "read-only mode", you need to click [Edit Anyway], then click the menu bar [File] → [Information] → [Protect Presentation] → [Always open in read-only mode] 】, and then save the file, the "read-only mode" of PPT will be cancelled.

If the PPT is set to "read-only mode" with a password, then after opening the file, a dialog box will pop up, prompting "Enter the password to modify or open in read-only mode", that is, enter the password to obtain modification permission. Clicking [Read Only] can also open the file, but the file cannot be edited or changed.

So, in this "read-only mode", if you want to edit the PPT file, you need to enter the originally set password. If you want to cancel the "read-only mode", you also need to enter the password to obtain editing permissions before proceeding.

After entering the password to open the PPT, we can remove the "read-only mode" through "Save As".

First, click [File] → [Save As] in the menu bar, and then select the save path on the right;

After the [Save As] dialog box pops up, click [Tools] → [General Options];

At this time, you can see that the [Modify Permission Password] in [General Options] already has a password. Delete the password into a blank space, and then save the file. The "read-only mode" of PPT will be removed.

Some friends may ask, if you forget the password when setting the "read-only mode" of PPT, will you not be able to edit or remove the "read-only mode"? The answer is yes, because there is no "forgot password" option in PowerPoint software.

But there are still ways to solve this problem, such as using PPT-related tools.

Taking the Pepsi Niu PPT password recovery tool as an example, you can remove the "read-only mode" of the PPT file without a password. Both of the above two "read-only modes" can be removed directly.

Select the [Unrestriction] module in the tool, and then drag the PPT file set with "read-only mode" into the tool.

Note that the PPT after deactivating the "read-only mode" will be saved as a new file. The old PPT will still exist in the "read-only mode". Click [Go to View] in the tool to open the folder where the new PPT is located.
