Julian: I amforwarding using Windows 10. I have checked each file property to find none intentionally set as read-only. I recently began seeing the read only addition to the file name when opening previously created doc. files. Clicking the Edit icon in Open Office causes the program to crash every time. I'm going to try uninstalling Open Office, downloading the latest version and reinstalling. Any other ideas? Thanks for your quick response.
