Default UNLOCK A SELECTION

You should have submitted this as a NEW message rather than as a reply to
the other - it really is a different issue

Files copied to a CD are automatically "locked" (actually, designated as
Read Only) and you shouldn't even try to open them directly from the CD (or
any other removable media). Copy them to your hard drive, then right-click
the file, select Properties from the shortcut menu & remove the Read Only
check.

Also, don't try to *save* directly to removable media, either. Do your work
on the hard drive then copy to the CD.

I am using Word 2003. I put documents to a CD rom and cannot edit them now.
I have set up a password, what parts can be edited (all of it) and whatever
else necessary and I still cannot edit my documents. What do I do now?
