Title: Unable To Edit Word Documents
Post by: Charlieperson on July 09, 2021, 11:44:48 AM
Hello Friends. This is my first post in this forum. Recently I am suffering from an issue with my computer. Yesterday I saved some word documents from the office on my home computer by pen drive and I can't edit or modify them in any way. I don't understand why this is happening, and how this problem can be solved. Can anyone help me with this?

Heya, have you tried opening the Word documents using a different software, such as LibreOffice?

Thanks for replying. I am using Microsoft Office 2007.

So, I found a solution from here (https://digicruncher.com/cant-edit-word-document/) after searching on Google. The documents I served were in read-only mode. The problem is solved only after disabling it.
