I've been working on a document in outline form, using Word 2003 and Windows
XP Pro, SP3.

I call the document up when I want to work with it, using Windows Explorer.
I save it regularly without trouble, but when I want to close and save it,
Word tells me that it is a read only document. It's not: I've looked at its
properties and "read only" is not checked. If its relevant, the document is
in RTF format.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

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