    How do I change (Read Only) on Microsoft Word


    When I downloaded Windows 10 and used my Microsoft Word it was in (Read Only) and I tried looking up how to solve the problem including looking at properties on my document to uncheck read only, but it was already unchecked. I have tried all the steps suggested.

    Word 2000 "Read Only" problem.

    Frederik,

    Could you please give me step by step instructions, in laymans language, on how I do this as whatever it is I'm doing doesn't seem to solve the situation.

    I still can't save my documents to "My Documents" in Word 2000, although I can save them to "Desktop".

    Again I am running Windows 7 and iE11.

    Thanks

    How do I disable read-only when I have a Microsoft Word 2000 document open?

    Opening Word documents

    Hi MPHowe

    Can you please provide a bit more detail on your question . . .

    1

    Do you get an error when trying to open Word documents, and if so, is that for all documents and what is printed on that error?

    2

    Can you open Word form its application icon, and if so, if you go to File - Open, can you open a Word document form there, rather than double clicking a Word document?

    3

    As an initial step, follow these steps to perform a full repair of your Office installation . . .

    Open Control Panel - Programs and Features

    Click Microsoft Office in the list of installed applications

    At the top, click 'Change'

    On the resulting dialog, click 'Repair' - choose the Online Repair, it is a comprehensive fix

    That should fix any issues with your Office Installation . . .

    NOTE: Please be advised, if you are running Office 2013 or earlier, before attempting a repair, have your Microsoft Office Product Key at hand, Office may need to be re-activated in some cases
