Expert: Carol Ott Date: 7/29/2003 Subject: read-only?
Question I am a VERY beginner user. I mainly put my docs together using MSWord and then convert to Adobe. Sorry the ? is so simplistic. Problem - I'm not sure how but my doc is now no longer able to be saved. I have to "save-as", delete the old and rename.
I did insert some pages that were already in Adobe by another author, and now wonder if my whole doc inherited some kind of "read-only" setting from one of those pages. I checked the document security and it shows no security. I can't find anywhere how to do (or UNdo) read-only with Adobe. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
Answer Hi there --
I'm not sure how it happened, but somewhere along the line, the SAVE feature was disabled. It could be that the document you took the pages from was indeed "read-only" -- and the security was inherited.
Unfortunately, once it's been done, it can't be undone. Is there any way you can start from scratch, making sure the security is turned OFF in the second document?
