Clear Read Only documents
I copied files to my CD and they are all saying they are read-only. I found a
hint on your board to go to Windows Explorer/File/Properties and click on the General Tab for each file and clear the Read-only check box. I did and hit apply and it didn't keep it. It reverts to Read Only. I need help. Thankyou. |

Clear Read Only documents
The files on the CD *are* read only and cannot be changed. Copy to the hard
drive and uncheck the read only property. Work on the document from the hard drive and copy back to the CD. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DeborahL wrote: I copied files to my CD and they are all saying they are read-only.

First copy to the hard drive, then remove the read-only on that copy on the hard drive. I've never played with RW versions of a CD (CD-RW), and am presuming that when you say CD, you mean the write-once variety, which cannot be changed once written (hence, read-only). Lynn Killingbeck |
