is there a way to lock individual slides on a google doc (powerpoint) presentation?

Q. I am creating a Google doc presentation for a large number of school students to upload their personal photos to for an assembly slide show. the issue is that some students are bound to act immaturely and change/delete other people's photos. is there a way that each student can lock their slide once they have added their photos and only they and i (the admin) can edit them? i definitely want to use google docs to create the presentation, not any other program.

A. You also mention PowerPoint in addition to Google docs. Remember that Google and Microsoft are competitors, and that PowerPoint has nothing at all to do with Google.

Both PowerPoint and Google docs offer free on-line storage and web applications. On both platforms you can set permissions on folders, so my answer will work for either Google or PowerPoint.

Have each student make a folder in Google Docs, SkyDrive, or Docs.com. Teach them how to set permissions on the folder so that you (the teacher), and no one else but you can access the folder. Then instruct the students to save their pictures or slides to that folder. Have the students send the links to the folders to you, and you will then be able to access the content you desire.

You might wish to consider allowing the students to make their own choice concerning the cloud storage service they use without dictatorially mandating one or another. Without explaining the differences among the three offerings, you are short-changing your students. It should make no difference to you which one any student chooses unless you're getting a kickback from Google, in which case you should be fired.

This way your students learn how to safely share content using a cloud storage service such as Google Docs, SkyDrive, or Docs.com.

I want column to change by not the row in excel or google doc?
Q. I want column to change by not the row in excel or google doc?
My formula looks like this

='Activity sheet'!C$1
='Activity sheet'!C$1
='Activity sheet'!C$1

I want it to be

='Activity sheet'!C$1
='Activity sheet'!D$1
='Activity sheet'!E$1
='Activity sheet'!F$1

etc.

Help will be appreciated.

A. if you fill (either by dragging or copy&pasting) down, then excel will change the row, and if you fill across then excel will change the columns. you figured that part out :o)

=char(65) is the letter A... since you want to start at C that would be =char(67)

so i would use the indirect() formula to increase the column letters as i drag down

so copy&paste this formula into your excel

=INDIRECT("'Activity sheet'!"&CHAR( ROWS(A1:A$1)+66)&1)

then drag the formula down.
- the indirect() turns a text string into a formula
- the rows() starts at 1 and adds it to 66 to get char(67) or C...and it increases as you drag down
- the & symbols concatenate the strings together into 1 formula.

hope that helps
