Hi, is there any way to

Create a powerpoint template with animation-hyperllink-activex controls....

and lock the template

however leave text boxes in the template where people can customize the
template to their need?
Thank you
 
Hi...To save any template as theme.

Click on the Design tab -> Save Current Theme
and the theme is saved as Theme1.thmx( You can name it as per your
convinience)

Whenever you want to use it again just browse theme's and select your saved
one.

Cheers,

No.

Passwording a presentation (or template) is an all-or-nothing thing. There's
no way to "lock down" bits and pieces....
 
I tell you why I ask...
I once bought a powerpoint game off the internet- the whole game was locked
besides for textboxes which you were able to customize with your own
questions...and i want to do the same thing
thanks

You can modify control text boxes during a show even in a passworded file
(but not save the result). This won't be useful though unless you are a vba
programmer.
