    READ ONLY error
    « on: July 22, 2011, 03:00:20 PM »

    I have a large document (file) on my hard drive that I created recently. I am Using MS Word 2007 and WIN7.

    Now when I attempt to make changes and save the file I get the message that the file is READ ONLY.  I did not knowingly make it that way.  When I look at the Properties it does not have READ ONLY checked. Under the Security tab: Full Control, Modify, Read and Execute, Read and Write all have check marks.  Special Permissions, does not have a check mark.
    How do I change the READ ONLY to allow me to do things to my own file?  Using MS Word 2007 and WIN&>
    Your help is appreciated,
    Eddie460
