If the files come from a CD (or worse are being edited on a CD) they will be
read-only by design. This is true even if it is a RW CD or DVD.

To clarify. If you create a new document, can you save it? If you open that
document, can you make changes and save it?

Microsoft Office 2003 Word is not allowing me to save or save as word
documents that I am making changes to.

Read-only check box is Clear in properties, but I cannot save revised Word
files with out a rdocument is read-only.

I do not want ANY read-only Word Documents on my computer. This is a work
computer for creating, saving and modifying documents; correspondence,
contact reports, etc.

Under properties, the read-only check box contains no check mark.
