Default Word document says it is read-only when not? How do I save?

My word document will not allow me to save changes. It says that the
document is "read-only" when it actually is not. That is as far as I can
tell. There is nothing in the security options stating that it is a
protected or read-only document. Do I have to save the document with another
name and delete the original? Is that the only fix? Thanks so much for
anyone who can assist me.

Either the file's read only property is set (right click and check its
properties in Windows Explorer) or you have an orphan lock file open
relating to that document. Close Word (after saving the file with a new
name) and see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm
