In all likelihood, you're getting this message because the file is on, or has been copied from, a CD or DVD. Because of the nature of such media, files written to them are usually marked 'read-only' by the operating System, and the 'read-only' attribute remains when copied from such media onto a hard disk or USB drive. This has nothing to do with Word. You can remove the 'read-only' attribute from files on a hard disk or USB drive using Windows Explorer to modify their properties.
