Try this.

When making a document go up to the top right-hand corner where it says “Share”. Click the drop-don arrow and hi “Invite people”. this will bring up a small box, click on the title that says “Invite people”. Then you can type e-mails into the box and choose the View only option.

Hope this helps.

So basically you’re wanting to be able to publish a presentation that doesn’t have the “create a copy” option, right? Yeah, I can’t figure out a way for that, either…. Hmmm….

I’ll try that again, Gabe, thanks.

Maybe I didn’t do something right last time, but it seems like that still allowed people to edit the slides at will. Even in “View Only” mode they had the option to save the presentation in their own Google Docs and then do whatever they wanted with it.

I can’t stop folks from pausing at each slide and recopying it, but I’d prefer that they can’t just cut and paste ‘em.
