If you want to be able to edit and save, you need to Open as Copy. If you
need only to read and print, Open Read-Only will do. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne S. Barnhill shared this with us in
microsoft.public.word.newusers: If you want to be able to edit and save, you need to Open as Copy. If you need only to read and print, Open Read-Only will do. Also, the former is exactly the same document (so you have 1 file), while the latter is a copy (= 2 files). -- Amedee Van Gasse |
