New docs saved as read-only

[Chris S.]

Whenever I save new documents in Word XP to my PC (hard drive), they
are getting saved as read-only files. I have not made any changes in
the Tools > Options settings, so I'm curious why this is happening. Has
anyone come accross this or seen this before?

Thanks for the help,
Chris S.
