Default Can Save As dialog be suppressed?

I have a PPS file that is password protected from editing. There is a text field with an action that runs a macro embedded in the file itself. The macro simply prints the presentation, which has been configured in Tools>Options to print with presenter notes.



Everything is working as desired, except that after you click on the text field to print the file, Powerpoint throws up a dialog asking if you want to save the changes to the file, and if you say yes it lets you do a Save As.

The point of password protecting the file is to avoid people keeping local copies, so the encouragement to save the file is counterproductive. Can it be suppressed?

(And yes, I know that a savvy user can get around all the security anyway. The strategy is just to avoid encouraging it.)
