Well, I don't spend my life wrestling with Word; I'm usually stuck navigating the chaos of Google Slides 2010.

Open what exactly?!?!?

I mean, how am I supposed to avoid completely trashing the file while trying to bypass whatever security is in place—like changing an extension without getting flagged by the system? Just give me a lead if you actually know something.

I believe they’re still running 2007 over there, but if I save this using the 2010 version, will it actually open on their machines?

So, here’s the situation: I’ve got a presentation due tomorrow
And look, I’ll get the work done, obviously, but
since I have absolutely zero desire to actually stand up there and present—because, frankly, the motivation just isn't there—does anyone know how I can sabotage the delivery so badly that my professor decides they don't want me presenting at all?
Is there any way to make it look like I put in the effort first, only to have everything "accidentally" fall apart during the actual speech?
Is that even a possibility?!
