How to unlock a document that Word locked by shutting down on its
While typing a document in Word, message box appeared saying the program had
performed an illegal operation and would shut down. After the program closed and I re-opened it (several times, including days later) and tried to recall my document, Word kept telling me the document was locked for editing and that I couldn't open it except as a read-only document. I went to take the lock off and work with this document. How do I do it? |
