turn off document protection
I have a CD with a few documents on it and I need to turn off the protection
that seems to be on the whole CD. I want to remove some documents totally and edit the main document. I have tried the Tools menu and there is no "Remove AutoProtect" or Remove Protect or anything on it, I have checked all the menus on that list. I tried removing the text in the entire document and it wouldn't save it that way either. Anyway. Any ideas? I have XP. The documents are all my own by the way. Vanayssa |

turn off document protection
I suspect that the problem is that the documents are on a CD and has nothing
to do with Word functionality. Generally, CDs are read-only, so it's unlikely that you would be able to make modifications of any sort to documents on a CD and then save them back to the CD. There are exceptions, of course, but in the first instance I would try copying the files to your hard disk and trying working with them there. -- Cheers!
