The earlier messages on write protecting files got me to looking at this a little closer. Thus, I have some questions, as I really must be missing something here in regards to how this is supposed to work.
First, if I read the manual correctly, it said that changing the document properties in the word processor file settings to have them apply to all documents, would then apply those settings to all future documents. So, just to clarify, does this mean any future document you open in the word processor, regardless of when it was created, and not just new documents you create? I guess this first question sounds a little strange since we're talking about read only documents, and I suppose the term all future documents is what kind of confused me. For, grin, it was really strange to have both these settings set to yes, and then not be able to do a thing regarding editing on any of my documents on the VS, even documents I had created and saved quite sometime ago. Second, if I do the enter with I and then check the read box to make the file read only, whether I open the file from the word processor or press enter on it in the file manager, the file opens and tells me it is protected, but then I can write in it and actually save my changes. Then, the next time I open that file, again either from the word processor or file manager, I am no longer told it is a protected file. Is this supposed to be the way things should happen? And, third, if you don't choose to use the settings in the file menu of the word processor to make the write protection apply to all documents, then does the write protection only work for that particular session of having the file open? I mean, once you use the file settings in the word processor to make a single file read only, is there no way of saving the write protection status of that file once the file has been closed in the word processor?
