Under the file menu, select “Save as…”
Select Save As

Name the file appropriately and hit “Save”
Click Save

Navigate to the saved presentation file, right click on it and select “Get Info”
Select Get Info

Under the “Sharing and Permissions” tab ensure “Read Only” is selected under the priviledge tab for each user.
Select Read Only
