Can't modify a file. How do I unlock the file?
I have always logged on and modify my files. Today, I am getting an error
message: This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked. This is the message on all my files. I can't even type one character. How do I fix this? Thanks, Gloria |

Can't modify a file. How do I unlock the file?
If you hold down the Shift key when you open a document, are you then able
to edit the document? If so, it sounds like one of your students may have placed a template into the Word Startup folder that contains an AutoOpen macro that is applying protection to the documents. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "TeacherG" wrote in message ...
