Documents that are secured from changes

I have a question about secured document, how can I take that setting away.
Everytime that I open a document i says that it is "secured from changes" and
I have to change the document with a new name ever time.

Hope to get an answer soon.

Is it REALLY saying "secured from changes" or is it saying it is
protected? Also...I'm GUESSING you're talking about a Word document?
What version?

If this is a Word document that is protected in a version previous to
2007, you can click Tools > Unprotect Document. But if there is a
password, you'll need to provide it.

It may also be write-protected. You can right click the file and
remove that by viewing the file's properties.

Sorry if this information is what you needed...but you need to provide
more specific details so we can more clearly help you.

We have Office 2000 and I have the problem with both Excel and word (maybe
other aswell, haven´t tried). We I open a document it says "write-protected"
by the name of the document. I wan´t to take that it away. If I go to the
properties of the document the "write-protection"-box isn´t checked.

Hope this helps to give me more help.

Best regards
