I have a word document saved as a read-only, I need to change it back to a
Microsoft word document.

Hello-

It depends on how it was made Read Only.

If as a Windows file attribute, right-click the file icon, choose Properties
and remove the Read Only check (while the file is _not_ open). Make sure
there is a check in the box for 'Archive'.

If it is a Word setting, it depends on which version of Word you are using -
which you don't mention. Assuming 2002(XP)/2003, the Read Only setting may
have been applied in ToolsOptions--Security, but you will need to know the
password to remove the setting. Otherwise, go to ToolsProtect Document, then
remove the Editing Restrictions check in the Task Pane.
