read-only embedded font

[Guest]

When I open Word file from another computer, get message: "Document locked
for editing because it contains a read-only embedded font." How do I
find/change/get rid of the embedded font or otherwise remove the editing
lock?

Try Tools/Options/Save. Deactivate the option for embedding the font, then
File/Save As to a new name. Note that the document will probably not view or
print the same if the embedded font is not installed on your machine.
