PowerPoint 2003 - Cannot "Save As" file

[Paco]

We have many PPT files posted on our SharePoint portal, but after openning
any of them, there is no way to save it with another filename, not even
locally in the HDD.

The problem is that we posted some PPT as templates that users should be
able to open (not check-out), make modifications an save as another file
somewhere else.

This can be done while working with other Office products like Word, but not
with PowerPoint.

Any idea?

Paco,

The problem is related to the way the user opens the file from the
document library. If you click on the link then you are actually opening a
"read only" copy of the document, however if you select "Edit in <program
name>" from the pull down menu you can open an editable copy of the document
and when you are finished you can choose "Save As" and specify a different
name for the new file.
