(Word versions 98 - 2003, on Win XP) I am now, all of a sudden, getting a
read-only message that will not allow me to make changes to a letterhead
template at a client (about 70 people). The document Properties indicates
NOT read-only and I make changes to it on a regular basis. I understand that
everyone has to be out of the template for me to save, but usually when there
is not, I get an entirely different message. Any idea why suddenly read-only
is coming up? Please help. Thank you!
 
Found Solution - File was actually NOT read-only even tho' that's the error
it gave me - the problem was that everyone was not out of the shared template
and it was still in use by one person (Not in Word - Word was closed, but
Time Matters Database had the preview of a document open). Once we closed
that window, the Read-Only message went away. Who knew? Thanks anyway,
wonderful Word people!
