.Doc that opens but resists all editing
Hi
Someone sent me by email what shoud be a standard Word .doc. Although I can open it and read it, it is strange. Most of my word options in my menus are grayed out. I can get my cursor into the document but as soon as I click it, I am thrown back to the beginning of the doc. I can't do anything with this doc other than read it but in properties, it is not 'read only'. I need access to this document in order to work on it. Why the rejection. I'm feeling lonely and frustrated!!!! Thanks for any help in advance in order to renew a more normal relationship between me and my doc Dave Neve |

I will now just crawl into a hole and disappear.
Having never used the option, I had completely forgotten of its existence. Thanks Dave Neve "Suzanne S. Barnhill" a écrit dans le message de news: ... Is it protected?

Well, just be glad it was something easy! And that I assumed that it might
be something simple and obvious instead of starting out with some abstruse (but erroneous) possibility (if I'd been able to think of any). Also, you can be sure that this one won't bite you again; I've found that when I "discover" a feature in this way, it makes an indelible impression! -- Suzanne S.
