How do I edit PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2016?

http://www.vjeraidjela.com/el Paso-s...-prezentacija/

There’s a beautiful presentation on this page, but it won't let me edit anything at all.

I'm wondering—is this happening because I'm using Microsoft Office 2016, or is there some other kind of security lock on it?

Since I have that exact version on my computer, I'm completely stuck.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to change this? Thanks so much!

Not a single soul?😲

Try converting it to .pptx using this.

It looks like those Catholic theologians did a pretty thorough job scrambling the file so you can't edit it. 😉

Unless, of course, you just swap the extension over to .ppt.

Honestly, there’s no magic trick required—just change the extension to .ppt and everything should work fine.
I probably could have found another workaround, but I didn't bother trying.

Score! I did—they actually asked for my email address. I wonder how much they'll limit me before they start asking for cash?

They're absolute devils, aren't they?🤣

Yeah, total sharks. But honestly, why bother with a converter in the first place when you can just rename the file extension and call it a day?

I gave it a shot, but I can't figure out how to actually change the extension.🤦



Every time I hit "change," it just keeps offering me the same thing—I'm running Microsoft Office 2016, so maybe that's where the issue lies?

If I click on "other options," it just throws a whole bunch of stuff at me

Don't sweat it. Just throw something like "how to change file extension?" into Google. You could even get more specific and type "Windows 10 How to change file extension" or whatever.

You can also just hit up YouTube; you'll find a mountain of tutorials, something like this:


Honestly, it’s basically two clicks. Right-click the file you want to tweak and hit "Rename."
Type in the new one you want and hit enter.
