How do I remove read-only from a Word document?

[Guest]

Periodically, my Word application saves my documents as read-only without my
prompting. How can I prevent this? How do I remove the read-only setting on
documents when it's not marked as read-only in the security settings?

Thanks.

Hi Annette

See: I keep getting files that I am working on locked for editing. Word only
allows me to open them read-only

Hope this helps.
