Title: Read Only Word File
Post by: denisaf on October 27, 2009, 11:04:12 PM

I am using Windows 98SE and Office 2000 on this computer. I was editing a Word .doc. Problems developed with Office 2000 on this computer so I copied the Word .doc to anther computer with Windows 98SE and Office 2000. This file opens as Read Only so I cannot edit it. What should I do?

Check *.doc file's read only attribuets from property of the file. Uncheck if checked.

Or you can save the file with a different name using save as command from word and after that deleting read only .doc file.

 Thanks very much. The properties of the Word file had the erad only box checked but I had to use Explorer to un check the box. I can now get back to the editing, thanks to you.
