Thanks for you help. I had to rename the file to save it. Then this morning,
I was wroking on it, and the same thing happened. I had my word document open
and editing it, then opened another word document from the same folder to
reference something. When I went back to the original file, made changes and
then tried to save it, it had changed to a "Read Only" file. I think you are
correct, in that MSWORD saw a conflict with the two open documents, and
wanted to protect the one opened first. I have just never seen this before,
and am not sure this is supposed to be happening.
I had checked the properties for the Read Only check box prior - that was
not the case until the document reverted, and then it would not let me change
it.
Thanks again for your help.
