Lock image dimensions in PowerPoint 2003

Is it possible to keep an inserted image from being resized once it is placed
on a slide? I was asked this question in a PowerPoint class as a student
would like to "lock" the dimensions of an image after it is inserted.

I see the value of this as I see students accidentally resizing images after
they have placed them where they would like to appear.

Thank you.

Not really, editing mode is for, well, editing. <G>

However, you can make it harder by placing the image on the Master Slide,
someone would have to deliberately edit it. Another option is to save the
entire slide as an image, and then import that image as the background for
the slide.

With an addin, yes. Otherwise, no.
