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

If the document is restricted (by settings in the Restrict Formatting and
Editing task pane in Word 2007 or the Document Protection task pane in Word
2003), you should be able to get rid of the protection by inserting the file
(via the Insert File dialog box) into a new file.

To display the Insert File dialog box:

- In Word 2007, click Insert tab | Object | Text from File.

- In Word 2003, click Insert | File.
