Protect system requirements

Hardware Requirements

If your computer works well with the PowerPoint files you typically work with, it will work very well with Protect.

Office/PowerPoint and Windows versions

Protect is an add-in for Windows PowerPoint. It works with these versions of PowerPoint:

It works in any version of Windows that's compatible with your version of PowerPoint.

Protect doesn't work with PowerPoint for Macintosh, but should work well when installed in a Windows virtual machine under Microsoft Virtual PC (VPC).

Protect doesn't work with operating systems that don't have a native version of PowerPoint. If you have a Windows emulator that supports one of the versions of PowerPoint listed above, Protect should work as well.

What About Office 2007?

Our add-ins will install in Office 2007 and are generally compatible with it. When you install them, you'll see a new "Add-ins" item on the Office "ribbon". Our add-ins will appear there. There won't be any new toolbars or PPTools menu item. Office 2007 no longer has toolbars and menus.

PowerPoint 2007 and Protect

A serious bug introduced in Office 2007 Service Pack 1 causes corruption in images exported at over 960 pixels wide from default-sized (10" x 7.5") slides. The original release of PowerPoint 2007 doesn't have this problem.

Because of this, Protect can only export images at up to 96 * PageWidth if you're using PowerPoint with SP1.

If you request larger images, they'll be exported at this size instead.

If you request smaller images, they'll be exported at the requested size.

We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that Microsoft will fix the problem quickly.
