How do I remove read only when renaming doesn't work
I am trying to save a file that I created to a new sandisk cruser usb flash
drive. I keep getting a message that the file is read only. I have tried renaming but still get the message. It is not read only. I don't even know how to do that. |

How do I remove read only when renaming doesn't work
Don't save directly from Word to any removable media, including a flash
drive. And don't open a document directly from removable media. Always copy the file to the hard drive, work on it there, and copy it back to the flash drive. When the file is on the hard drive, if it still says it's read-only, right-click the file in Windows Explorer, select Properties, and uncheck the "Read only" box in that dialog. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. frustrated again wrote: I am trying to save a file that I created to a new sandisk cruser usb flash drive.

If you store them on a CD, they will always be stored as read-only; that's
the nature of the medium. When you copy them back to the HD, you then have to remove the read-only property. -- Suzanne S.
