How to solve the problem that PPT files cannot be edited?

We may feel confused when we need to edit a PPT file but find that it cannot be modified. PHP editor Xigua provides a solution: first make sure the file is not locked or in read-only mode, and then try to open it with different software. If you still cannot edit it, you can try saving the PPT file in another format and then edit it. If the above methods still don't work, you can consider using an online PPT editing tool or contact the file creator to request editing permissions.

First of all, we need to understand the two situations that may cause the PPT file to be unable to be edited.

The first situation is that the PPT file is set to PPS format, but hidden. After opening a PPT in PPS format, the slides will be played directly and cannot be edited. In this case, we only need to modify the PPS format into a non-screening mode PPT.

Because the "File type extension" is hidden, you must first check the [File extension] option under the [View] option of [My Computer] so that the file type can be displayed.

.

Then, select the PPS format file, right-click the mouse and select Rename. Change "PPS" to "PPT" or "PPTX". The PPT will become non-screening mode and can be edited.

.

We can also turn PPS into PPT through the "reopen" method.

First open any PPT file, click [File]-[Open], and then select the PPS file on the right. After selection, PPS will be opened in PPT mode and can be edited directly.

.

The second possibility that PPT cannot be edited is that it has been set to restrict editing, which is "read-only mode".

In this mode, after opening the PPT, a prompt box will appear, requiring a password to modify it. If there is no password, it can only be opened in "read-only mode".

.

The PPT in "read-only mode" cannot be edited. To cancel the "read-only mode", you need to first enter the password to enter the PPT in "modify" mode, and then cancel it through "save as".

But in fact, if you have a password, you can edit the PPT. Whether the "read-only mode" is canceled or not is of little significance.

So if we want to cancel the "read-only mode" of PPT so that it can be edited without a password, we need to use other tools to remove the "read-only mode" of PPT that restricts editing, such as the Pepsi Niu PPT password recovery tool. You can directly release the "read-only mode" of PPT without a password.

Select the [Unrestriction] module in the tool, and then import the PPT.
