Read-only recommended not sticking
Actually, it's not UN-sticking. I have a document, when I open it, I get the
"...should be opened as read-only unless changes to it need to be saved. Open as read-only?" message. Simple fix, right? Save as, select the General Options, and uncheck the "Read-only recommended" box. Click OK, click Save. Problem is, the document still spits out the "Open as read-only?" message whenever it's opened. This is a .doc file in Word 2007 (SP 2) so I tried converting it to .docx before doing save as. Still, I get the "Open as read-only?" message. Why can't I get rid of this message? Any suggestions? |

Read-only recommended not sticking
More information -- if I save the document as .docx and dig into the
underlying files (by unzipping) there is a tag w:writeProtection w:recommended="1"/ in the settings.xml file. If I remove this tag, re-zip the files and rename the zip as .docx, it opens without the message. Great, but how do I accomplish this using Word? "Art Frank" wrote: Actually, it's not UN-sticking.
