Office 2007 Docs open read only?

[Brian Schmidt]

 
Hey guys,
 
I am using slide to open and modify office docs. For Office 2003 documents, 
there was that registry tweak that allowed files to be open read-write. I 
recently installed Office 2007 and all the documents open read only. Has anyone 
else encountered this and know a work-around?
 
Thanks!
Brian
