Read-Only Document in Word?

Question

I created a word document and for some reason when I open it, it opens as a read-only document. I cannot make or save any changes to the original document I created. I don't remember applying a password to it...any idea on how to revert it back to an editable document?

Answer 1

From the Operating system, find the document and right click on it. A menu will pop up. select the "Properties" option from this menu. It will have a bunch of stuff, including a couple of check boxes, one of which is Read Only. make sure the Read only check box is unchecked, then click OK.

Answer 2

Open the document, click on File-> Save As
When the pop-up window appears, look to the upper right corner, it has a "TOOLS", select it.
Then check to see if you have the read-only recommand checked.... lower left corner

Answer 3

Sometimes this happens when your trial for microsoft office has expired. If not go to the file and right click it select properties and uncheck the readonly box.

Make sure that no one else has this document open on the network.
