[Solved] How do I change from "Read Only" status?

Post by cinque8 »

Hello,

I just received a .doc document from a friend containing a photo. I would like to enlarge the photo and change the font, but the document has "Read Only" status. Can I change the status of this document so that it is not "Read Only"?

Thank you.

If you save it to a regular document folder, like your desktop or Documents folder, you should be able to edit it.
