Word 2007 and Windows 7.

I have a file called v1.doc that was previously involved in a situation
where while I was editing it Word went into a loop and after waiting half an
hour I had to terminate Word using the task manager.

When I reopened v1.doc Word appears to have recovered the file properly but
at the top of the window where the file name is shown, there is now the text
"(Read-Only)".

When I attempt to save the file Word tells me that since the current file is
read-only I have to give the file a new nane which I do: v2.doc and Word
exits.

When I open v2.doc I expected the read-only attribute to be gone since the
new name had been supplied. However file v2.doc has the same "read-only" note
at the top.

Saving (using save as) v2.doc as v3.doc continues the same process.

I cannot get rid of the readonly and thus every edit requires a new version
of the file.

If one checks the file properties in Windows Explorer the read only
attribute is NOT set.

Please help
