I didn't save my document as read-only, how do I change it?
I opened a document on my computer that I originally created a couple days
ago on my Vista computer. It is a word document that is saved as a word 97-2003 document. I want to get rid of the "read-only". I didn not save it as read only. When I click on help all I find is how to save a document as read only and it says to first click on the microsoft office button, then click save as, then click on tools. Well, I cannot find "Tools" in the drop-down list in order to get to the next option of clicking on general options. Can anyone help? |

A document will open as read only if for some reason its lock file has not
been deleted. Save with a new filename then delete the temporary files associated with it - see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm . -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org AMatts wrote: I opened a document on my computer that I originally created a couple days ago on my Vista computer.
