I am unable to SAVE a previously saved document when it is re-opened and
edited. It is telling me that it is READ ONLY when I have NOT seleted that
option. Any ideas, it is driving me crazy since I have to keep chaning the
name of the document.
 
Somehow it DID become read only. Click Tools > Options > Security and
see if that setting has been used. Also, you can right click the file
in Windows Explorer, click Properties and uncheck the ReadOnly
property if that has been used.

One more thing...depending on the version you are using, it may be
caused because you have a crashed version of the document in your TEMP
folder or other default folder. See this article for info about how to
clear your temp folder...
