Default read only

Are you always trying to save these files to CD?
If you are, then chances are they will be ReadOnly. CDs are designed to be
ReadOnly. Your best bet is to save the file to your hard disk, and only copy
it to a CD when it is finished, that is, it doesn't matter if it becomes
read-only.

One other thing, if you save a file to CD, then copy it to your hard disk,
it will usually still have the ReadOnly option set on the hard disk copy.

Finally, as far as I know, there is no way of 'turning off' read-only in
word, it is more to do with how and where you save the file.

Hope you manage to sort it out...

Cheers,

Chris.

When you say you have tried 'Everything' to 'turn off' ReadOnly on
your
document,
Exactly WHAT things have you tried?

Restarted Word?
Restarted your computer?
Restarted your server(if you have one)?
Checked the file permissions on your file?
Made a copy of the file and tried opening that?
anything else??

Cheers,

ChrisM.
