Close and reopen the document. When you see the prompt, choose "No" (so that you open an editable version of the file). In the Save As dialog box, click Tools, and then click General Options. Clear the "Read-only recommended" option and click OK. Exit the Save As dialog box. Save the changes. The next time you open the document the prompt should be gone.
