Read only locked form - how to undo
Softwa Word 2002, Worldox (document management) 2002.
User inadvertently locked a document using the Forms toolbar and then made the document read only (Tools, Options, Security, checkbox). Since there are no form fields anywhere in the document, she can't type anywhere in it and needs to remove the lock while keeping the filename and document number the same (important for what they're doing). Turning off the document management program doesn't seem to help. Word doesn't allow you to uncheck the box for read-only recommended and then save the file, which makes sense, but how do you give write privileges back to the file? Can you? Note: She doesn't get the "read only recommended" dialog box on opening the file. Suggestions, please, and thanks for your help. -- Lori |

Hi ?B?TG9yaSBT?=,
Could you please be more specific about what options were activated in order to put security on this file? Exact commands used, please. In Word terms "read-only" means you get the "Read-only recommended" box. Anything else isn't "read-only", it's something else. Also: 1. Did she assign a password? 2. Does the document (or did it ever) have macros and/or controls from the Controls Toolbox toolbar? 3. What's the macro security setting on this machine? And has anyone tried opening the document on a system with macro security set to "Low"? Softwa Word 2002, Worldox (document management) 2002.
