Having trouble with word. All documents i access appear to be "locked" as
in
i cannot alter them in anyway or even highlight the text. I though at
first
it was read only or access rights giving the problem. However it happens
to
all documents, regardless of thier origins, so i think it is likely to be
a
setting somewhere in word that is giving me the trouble. Any help much
appreciated. Dave.
