This is my first post in this forum. Recently I am suffering from an issue with my computer. Yesterday I saved some word documents from the office on my home computer by pen drive and I can't edit or modify them in any way. I don't understand why this is happening, and how this problem can be solved. Can anyone help me with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this scenario, disabling the read-only mode should fix this problem. To disable the read-only mode, follow the steps given below: Locate the Word document you want to edit and right-click on it. Click on the Properties option from the pop-up menu. Uncheck the Read-only attribute in the General tab. Now, select the Security tab and see if the elements in the Group or user names section have been allowed the Full control, Modify, Read & execute, Read, Write permissions. If they are not allowed then, click on the Edit option below the Group or user names section and select the boxes for the options given above. Finally, click on Apply and OK to save all the changes. Now, check if you still can’t edit Word document. This solution should fix this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught two people this way, when at work, telling me they had a good idea, trouble is it wasn't theirs. Sikon and major-mark63 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
