If you are opening the files from a CD, don't! Instead, copy them to the
hard drive (where they will be Read Only and must be changed), then open
them in Word.

I have written some documents at home but need to complete them at the
office. When alterations have been made I am not permitted to save them,
even
to a different location as they are "read only". how do i remove this. I
have
been into the properties of the document and remove the Read only tick,
but
still it denies me access.
