If it is the OS, why doesn't my friend's Windows behave the same way?

It was made read-only by means of operating system, like being on CD or
having read-only attribute set.
Open that document, do File\Save As, choose location and provide
appropriate name. Then you should be able to edit the file and then
forward it to organisation.

Subject: [users] Read Only - Or Not ???

An organisation recently sent me an MS Word document, as an e-mail attachment, and asked that I fill it in and e-mail it back.

I don't use MS Word. I use OpenOffice, on Win XP/SP2.

I opened the document and started filling it in. As soon as I started typing I got an error message to the effect that the document is Read Only and I can't modify it.

I forwarded the e-mail to a friend who has MS Word. On his system I could fill in the form; it was *not* read only.

What is happening here, please?
