How do I un-protect docs I didn't protect?

Thanks, Andrew. I teach online. I regularly download zip files of student papers that are .docx documents all the time. In Word 2029, whenever I double-click on one of these documents in File Explorer, it comes up as read-only. Sometimes even my own work, if I've touched it on another computer, comes up read-only. Those are really excessive and I waste time because of this.





However, I figured it out. For a while, Word in Office 365 would not let me choose any tab besides info. I could not save or print. I am thinking that my efforts to get to another tab got the read-only flags set on these two documents instead. So, the problem went away.
