editing. Word only allows me to open them read-only€¯ at:

All of a sudden, I can't edit any of my word docs because they all claim
to
be read-only. However, when I check the properties, the read-only box for
the
file I'm using isn't checked.

Until today, I was always able to edit and overwrite my files.

Please advise.
