Word files suddently going read-only (uncommanded)
I am regularly using 'open' MS Word files (Office 2010) only to find some files suddenly become 'read-only', Properties/Attributes shows them as open but they are not. Autosave/recover is off.
Does anyone know Why files suddenly go read-only, how can I prevent this ? How can I revert a read-only file back to editable/saveable (attribute is clear and selecting/de-selecting the read-only attribute does not clear the problem) ? Thanks, Wombat |

Long ago, Microsoft admitted that this was a bug, and it's still a bug today.
Try this: With the document opened in Microsoft Word, select Save As to bring up the file dialog box. To the left of the Save button, you should see a little drop-down menu called "Tools." Click on that and select General Options... That will bring up the General Options dialog box. In that dialog box, if the option called "Read-only Recommended" is checked, then uncheck it. |

Thanks sinz54, I have tried this but without success. Only option which positively works is to save file as some-other temp.name, then delete the original and rename the temp back to where I started. A drag, but if Microsoft have known for ages I don't see the big problem with their correcting on some subsequent update ?
