This will really hamper getting the book finished and sent-out. Now I’m unable to save editing changes because of the sudden appearance of the Read-Only on the documents, like all of you have experienced. I’ve had no problem with the same Word 2007 during this process until yesterday. I am just finishing a novel I’ve worked on for several years. It was not until after ALL open documents were closed and Word 2007, itself, closed along with the last document that the original problem-document finally opened for me correctly and did not open in Read-only mode. And, each time I tried to open it, it opened in Read-only mode! After closing each one, I would try to open the original problem-document again. I had about five other documents open at the same time so, I started closing them on-by-one. When I try to re-open the original document, it opens in Read-only mode even though the Properties for the file still shows the Read-only box NOT checked. So, I save it under a different name and close the original document without saving changes. And, as it seems with everybody else, you cannot save the document. The Read-only box is, of course, not checked.

Interestingly, I go to Windows Explorer, right-click on the file and then click Properties.

Of course, you don’t find out until you try to do a manual save or close the document.

I always have several documents open at the same time, and one of the documents will flip to Read-Only for no reason. It is very frustrating when I have to interrupt my thoughts and dick with trying to save a document, then try to resume where I left off before being so inconsiderately interrupted with such prevalent nonsense that should have been fixed years ago. It happens at the most inconvenient time - frequently when up against deadlines. I’m having this same problem ever since Office 2007 was installed on my machine. In Word 365, you can see the Tools dropdown if you press F12 to open the old-style ‘save as’ dialog. Other information: This happens to people using Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, so it doesn’t appear to be related to the operating system, just to Word 2007 and later (and possibly other Office 2007 and later documents?) Personally, I’d try this one as a last resort also, in some corporate environments, you may not be able to change your AV settings.

Set your anti-virus software to not scan Office 2007 files.

Make sure the document you are trying to save is not an Outlook attachment that’s still open in Outlook.

Check Windows Explorer and make sure you don’t have the document open in Preview Pane view as this will lock it (in Vista, open Windows Explorer and go to Organize > Layout > Preview pane).

Make sure the document you have open is not sitting inside a Zip file.

Try saving to your My Documents folder (if you normally save to a network location or some other folder) to see if this makes any difference.

Temp files are easy to spot - they have a tilde ( ~) in front of the file name and have a tmp file extension. Also check in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\ Microsoft\Templates to make sure that there are no temp files there too. Your Temp folder is located here: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\ Temp.

Reboot your computer and immediately check your Temp and Templates folders for lurking temporary files not deleted properly (don’t open any Office applications until after you’ve done this - your Temp folder should be empty after a fresh reboot).

Check the General Options settings for the document ( Microsoft Office button > Save As > Tools drop-down > General Options > clear the Read-only Recommended check box if it’s checked - no, I had NO idea this option existed either!).

Turn off AutoRecover ( Microsoft Office button > Word Options > Save > Save AutoRecover information every xx minutes).

There may be a conflict with when you do a manual save and the automatic save ( Microsoft Office button > Word Options > Advanced > Save subsection). Here are some possible solutions I found: However, after my colleague said that she’s getting the message all the time on a specific document, it was time for me to go off to Google and check if anyone else gets this and how they solved it. The workaround I’ve used to date has been to do a ‘save as’ and save the document with a slightly different file name.

You save and close a Word 2007 document, re-open it, work on it, try to save it again but get the ‘read-only’ message.

You’re happily working in a Word 2007 document, saving as you go, when all of a sudden you can’t save as you get a message that the document is set to ‘read-only’.

I’m not sure how widespread this problem is, but I’ve seen it a few times, and one of my work colleagues gets it regularly:
