I have a Word 2003 template that I need to update in Word 2007 but I
am getting a Read Only dialog box when I attempt to save the changes.

--In Word 2007, the template is listed as being open in Compatibility
Mode at the top of the screen, but does NOT also say Read Only.

--When I access the doc's properties via Windows Explorer, the Read
Only option is NOT checked.

--When I access the Protect Document status via the template, it is
listed as Unrestricted Access.

--When I attempt to alter the template via a document that uses that
template, again, I get a Read Only dialog box when I try to save
template changes.

Any suggestions -- other than saving as a 2007 template (not an
option) -- are greatly appreciated...
