how can I change a read only file so that I can read it? The one I have shows
nothing but squares when I open it . my os is xp pro and I have ms office 2003
 
Is this a document of a file type for which you have an appropriate
converter installed?

The read only attribute does not scramble the document, it merely prevents
you from easily saving changes.

There's a macro by Microsoft in the KnowledgeBase that addresses a similar
problem.
