Are you saving to a CDRW? CD files are read-only by design.

Hello-
You stumbled into the WinWord ng, but I happen work both sides of the aisle... although I never spent much time with X. However, AFAIK, there is no specific setting in _any_ version of Word to automatically save as read only. That is a file-specific attribute unless something has been done to force it (such as a special macro for saving). Are you, perhaps, dealing with files on a CD? If so, ALWAYS copy to a hard drive & work with that copy. Once you save your changes you can copy back to other media if necessary. If that isn't the problem, post your question he http://groups.google.com/group/micro...ac.office.word Regards |:) "sderan" wrote: In Word X for Mac when a files is saved it automatically saves as read only.
