read only inherited from template

[Guest]

Hello,

I have created a WordTemplate that I have set the Read-Only property on with
password protection. Currently when a user opens the template then "saves as"
a Word document (.doc) it inherits the Read-Only properties.

Is there a way to set the Template as Read-Only and allow the user to save
the template as a unique word document that will now be not Read-Only?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter

The way to use a template is to do File > New, choose the template and click
OK. That creates a new document based on the template.

If the template is located in the folder shown at Tools > Options > User
Templates or Tools > Options > Workgroup templates, it will appear in the
File > New dialog. Otherwise, a user can use Windows Explorer to locate the
template, and double-click the name. The default action in Windows Explorer
is to create a new document from a template, and not to open it.

Hope this helps.
