I have a password protected presentation that I can only
open as read-only. I am unable to print this presentation,
I don't even get the printer dialog displayed. Nothing
happens and no errors are displayed. We are new to XP so
is this working as designed or is it a bug. All other
presentations without password protection or where I am
able to enter a password work OK

Please help
 
[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

It should print from PowerPoint 2002 (but you will not get a Print
dialog.... it just prints). This behavior has been changed in Office 2003 -
Password protected presentations opened up as read-only will bring up the
Print dialog when you try to print them from PowerPoint 2003.

My mistake, I thought that PPT wouldn't print password protected
presentations at all.
