Where you want to embed ppt files? Expiry date? I didn't understand.

One suggestion:Just delete the file completely after certain number days. It will work surely!

You are right .. i am looking for a protection feature for a presentation. Like i want to be able to send a sample to someone but he should not be able to use the contents forever.
__________
Or would there be a way to atleast write protect a presentation .. something like what a pdf file is to a document?

And if the user changes the date of the system, the protection will be lost, right?

There is no copy protect content feature inbuilt in PP but you can password protect and 'modify protect' the document.

In PP, goto Tools>Options>Security
Also before you save the file, fill all possible related information in File>Properties option and then in the Security tab in Privacy Options, check 'Remove Personal Information From File Properties On Save'.
