Re: Read Only documents
You could try "save a copy" and edit that. Rick W. Davis wrote: Julian: I amforwarding using Windows 10. I have checked each file property to find none intentionally set as read-only.

By "diamond", I'm assuming that you mean a rhombus (or lozenge) - an equilateral quadrilateral? Perhaps the diamond shape is actually a kite shape which would allow adjacent angles to differ? You say that opposing angles are equal and then give differing values for opposite angles. So you clearly mean something different by "opposing" and "opposite". Colour me confused. The internal angles of any quadrilateral must add up to 360 degrees. You appear to have two lots of 72 degrees and two of 60 degrees - leaving you 96 degrees short. Color me more confused. I figured I should be able to stretch a standard supplied shape, but can't figure how to hold the plane of the equal angles so that the distances from the points will vary. The plane of the angles is the plane of the whole shape. How could anything leave this plane - unless you have a special pen which will somehow write in the air above your sheet of paper, or a computer which can write in the air in front of the display? Any pointers please? Perhaps define your problem more clearly? I trust this helps.

Re: Open Office changing my document from word
There are many people here who are prepared to help others for free. Hopefully you got this software free. It's free because it is open source software. That means it is transparent allowing you to copy the software and change it. Those of us who understand its workings enough to change it can make changes to suit themselves or others. Apache hosts the software and provides updates and add-ons but because it is free they can provide no help desk service. Therefore we users help each other, by politely asking for advice or help from the group. It is very difficult to provide or offer help to one who demands help rudely like a spoilt child, then insults another user who is rightly offended by this.
