Has the doc in question been copied back from a CD? Such files are always
read-only by default, and you need to remove the flag before opening.

Typically, saving a new doc is no problem. But occasionally, Word
will refuse to save changes, informing me that the doc is read-only. I
save docs the same way all the time (CTRL-S, or exit, then click Yes
to save), no idea why some of them suddenly become read-only. ???
