Default How to I change a read only document to a normal for correctin

HI,

I have also received a read only work report, but when I right click it
(saved on my desk top) it doesn't have a read only flag. I have tried saving
it as a different file name, but it still says the item is locked. Any other
suggestions please?

If it is password protected apply the password. If not copy it to the hard
drive, right click in Windows Explorer, choose 'propertries' and remove the
flag from the read only check box.
