I have used the Save As Web Page option in Powerpoint 2000
to post a presentation on a company Intranet. This views
OK in Internet Explorer but I would like to be able to
disable the Browser option to "Save As" and "Edit with MS
Powerpoint" to prevent people taking copies of the
Powerpoint presentation. Can this be done ?
 
You can do it with Java Scripting for IE. But, there are ways around this also.

I am not after a 100% fool proof way just need to stop the
casual user making a copy (a business requirement). Any
ideas where I can find more on how this is done with Java
Scripting for IE ?

Making a copy or making an editable copy?

Virtually anything you show me on the net can be copied one way or another.
A PDF of the PPT could be secured moderately well against editing, though.
 
I just did a google search for "Disable Save As", and all kinds of material popped up. Unless you have all kids of animations, I'd go along with what Steve R recommended.
