When we create a MS Word 2007 document we often include a text file object in the document containing commonly used instructions.

Later, when we open the document, we find that we can't open the object. This happens when the Word document is opened as read-only. If the "Edit Document" button is clicked, we can open our objects without any problem.

This is an issue as we don't want the users to be editing the document.

Is it possible to change this behavior? It seems kind of silly to be able to attach objects and then not be able to access them.

Thanks!
