How do I unlock to modify something
That depends on how you locked it. If you set it to Read-Only, go into
Windows Explorer, right click and uncheck the Read-Only option. If you use Word's Protect Document feature, click Tools Unprotect Document and enter the password if you used one. If you forgot the password...rewrite your resume! Dian D.

By "Windows Explorer," Dian means "My Computer" (in XP) or
"Computer" (in Vista). (It's still called "Explorer" deeper down; don't confuse it with "Internet Explorer.") On Oct 2, 6:25*pm, "Dian D. Chapman, MVP" wrote: That depends on how you locked it.

Dian,
It is important to keep in mind who you are dealing with. Peter has a bad habit of trying to tell you what other people really mean. They can say one thing and Peter will tell you that they mean something else. As in this case he is often wrong. Dian D.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR |

Well, Peter, explaining that someone else MEANT to say something
different is quite rude. Enhancing a post by enhancing it is one thing. Stepping on it by correcting minor issues that aren't incorrect as if you know better is quite another.

Most queriers here aren't at a level to find it without being explicitly told that. Really? Would you mind posting your facts and statistics to support that analysis? You'll find Greg constantly complaining because I give simple answers to beginners No. Now that she is back (welcome back Dian), she will find Greg complaining whenever you violate your goals and objectives. I'll refresh your memory: 1. Post when and wherever you like, but stay in your range of expertise. Always be open to the ideas and suggestion of others. If you venture outside your range then try to be correct. 2. Stop posting your opinions as statements of fact. If you think something is easy or if you prefer one method to another then say so in that manner. Stop insisting or trying to prove that your ways are always best, easiest, fastest, etc. Let others decided for themselves what is easiest between a set of given options and decide for themselves if the effort/advantage of pursuing one approach justifies taking that approach over another. 3. Stop disparaging the contributions and skills of others and selective advanced Word features. Stop throwing up roadblocks and detours when a user seeks information on a particular feature or function that you don't understand or that you don't wish to pursue yourself. 4. STOP SHOUTING in the newsgroup. 5. Bridle your arrogance. Sadly you step all over one or more of them almost every time you post so the complaints may appear constant.

How do I unlock to modify something
I've been supplementing "old-timers"' uses of "Explorer" with the
explanation "(My) Computer" for months, because very often when "Explorer" with no explanation is given, the OP comes back wondering how to find "Explorer." Most of the regulars are now using "(My) Computer" in their first line of response instead of the older, obscurer, and ambiguous term "Explorer." Necessitating another round of postings to get an explanation for something that needn't have been confusing in the first place doesn't help the OP. You can observe from Greg's responses that he has no sense whatsoever of the abilities of the typical first-time querier here. He is unable to comprehend that many users have never even had the opportunity, let alone taken the opprtunity, to study training materials that lay out Word's often opaque and often changing terminology and procedures. And the reason he hates me so, is that he once posted a very rude reply to a naive poster, and I commented on its rudeness. On Oct 3, 3:00*am, "Dian D.

Ms. Barnhill,
Despite our private discussions aimed at avoiding public confrontation, you seem determined. Dian will not have to spend much time in this NG to determine the character of the your troll friend Peter. Unlike you, she has already managed to determine that he is rude. Add that to his unbridled arrogance, which you may or may not have tried to justify, his very, very limited range of expertise, and his persistance for being wrong; it may not be long before those who don't chose to ignore him join me in actively trying to run him out. I make no claim to be king of this newsgroup. As for rights, despite the efforts of some, the United States is still a free country so I don't need any special permission. We can thank our servicemen and woman and our veterans for the freedoms that you and I both enjoy. It is quite refreshing to see you finally exercise some of the community leadership responsibility that comes with being a MVP. Where was that leadership and concern the other day when your boy Peter called a poster a schmuck? Good day. Suzanne S.

How do I unlock to modify something
How do you define "very often?" Can you give any statistics to support your
claim? How many times has the term "Explorer" been used and how many times has the OP came back with the a question about how to find it? Who is a regular? Is there a difference between a regular contributor who posts accurate and helpful information and a regular annoyance like you? As for "necessitating another round of postings" it seems that as an aspiring MVP like you would welcome the opportunity to further bloat your post count. The reason Greg dislikes you is because you are such and insulting and insufferable person. Even when you are wrong you continue in your arguments. His very rude reply is repeated below. We can let Dian decide for herself: "Being a notorious poor speller myself I am going to suggest that you investigate the spell check feature and perhaps experiment with the shift key. Mastery of both will go a long way in making your questions easier to read." Your staunchest supporters only found the remark a bit "snarky." The "comment" you made on "your perception" of its rudeness was a deliberate insult. "Are there no courtesy requirements for becoming an MVP?" Here is a more appropriate example of "a very rude reply:" "Schmuck" Having no sense whatsoever of your very, very limited abilities, if you right click that term in Word and then select "Look up," Words dictionary will return: Schmuck. - A highly offensive term that deliberately insults somebody's personal worth. I believe that is was you who posted that reply recently right here in this very newsgroup. So do you want your cake and want to eat it too? I'll ask you the same thing that your champion recently asked me. Who made you king of this NG or what right have your to comment on the propriety my posts here? Cheers. Peter T.

And it doesn't help that, even if you say "Windows Explorer," people's
immediate thought (especially if it's their default browser) is Internet Explorer. This is Microsoft's fault, of course, which, added to the similarity in names of "Outlook" and "Outlook Express," provides plenty of pitfalls for the inexperienced. -- Suzanne S.

Shouldn't whiterat have the freedom (or right) to post what he wants when he
wants and where he wants without concern? I don't think so. Do you? You avoided the question.

Well, in some circles the term itself is regarded as rude based on its
derivation (though there seems to be some uncertainty about that). The page at http://www.schmucku.com/definition.html explains that it has a range of meaning.

How do I unlock to modify something
All senses in the modern Germanic languages (including German,
Yiddish, and English) come from the standard meaning "decorate/ decoration" -- cf. the well-known Lutheran chorale "Schmuecke dich, o liebe Seele" = "Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness."

If you venture outside your range then try to be correct. 2. Stop posting your opinions as statements of fact. If you think something is easy or if you prefer one method to another then say so in that manner. Stop insisting or trying to prove that your ways are always best, easiest, fastest, etc. Let others decided for themselves what is easiest between a set of given options and decide for themselves if the effort/advantage of pursuing one approach justifies taking that approach over another. 3. Stop disparaging the contributions and skills of others and selective advanced Word features. Stop throwing up roadblocks and detours when a user seeks information on a particular feature or function that you don't understand or that you don't wish to pursue yourself. 4. STOP SHOUTING in the newsgroup. 5. Bridle your arrogance. Sadly you step all over one or more of them almost every time you post so the complaints may appear constant.

Not the usual derivation, however.

How do I unlock to modify something
Twenty-six posts and what have we learned?
1. A locked file can be unlocked either by changing its read-only property in Windows Exploder or by unprotecting it using native Word functionality. 2.Alternatively, the reported behaviour may be due to an expired trial version of Word 2007. 3. MSFT's use of the names 'Windows Explorer' and 'Internet Explorer' can lead to confusion. 4. Dian doesn't appreciate being told what she "means" - as I suspect is the case for most people. She means what she says and says what she means, and she doesn't need a puffed up popinjay to interpret for her - even if linguistics is his (only) claim to fame. 5. Peter is still a troll who is so convinced that he knows *everything* - to the point that he believes it's his place to explain the posts of highly experienced and knowledgeable "old-timers" in a futile effort to make himself look good and thus be presented with an MVP award. -- Cheers!
