HOW CAN i REMOVE "READ ONLY" PROTECTION ON A DOCUMENT

G

Guest

I have written some documents at home but need to complete them at the
office. When alterations have been made I am not permitted to save them, even
to a different location as they are "read only". how do i remove this. I have
been into the properties of the document and remove the Read only tick, but
still it denies me access.

you can always save as under a new name. Then you can go back, delete the
read only, and change the name of your new file if necessary.

If you are opening the files from a CD, don't! Instead, copy them to the
hard drive (where they will be Read Only and must be changed), then open
them in Word.
