Read only files
Why whenever I save a word doc on a CD it never ever can be edited when you
open it from the CD? When I created the doc I didn't specify it to be a read only file. I want others to be able to edit it off the CD. |

This is not possible. Copy to the hard drive and remove the read-only flag
to edit the document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org bjeller wrote: Why whenever I save a word doc on a CD it never ever can be edited when you open it from the CD?

Read only files
Normal CDs are always read-only: any file, once written, is immutable.
Some Windows set-ups make it possible to edit a document directly on a read-write CD; but this corrupts the document and often the entire CD as well. "bjeller" wrote in message ...

Read only files
In my orginial notes I forgot I am using a CD-RW to copy my word docs. I do
have the hard drive copy I did look at the attributes it is a read-only flagged docment. Where do you remove the read only flag from a file copies off a CD-RW?

Read only files
In Windows Explorer, right click the file (on the hard drive) and select
properties. Uncheck the read only flag. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org bjeller wrote: In my orginial notes I forgot I am using a CD-RW to copy my word docs.
