How do I change the Read Only attribute on a file?

[Terry]

I am working out of a publisher file that had been saved to a CD. I was able
to edit the file but it will not let me save because it was Read Only. Can I
change the read only attribute on this file to allow me to edit and save?

Hi Terry,

You have to save the file from the CD onto your hard drive. If you
right-click on the file and click on Properties, you can turn off the Read
Only attribute.

If the CD is a read-write CD, you may be able to go into Windows Explorer
and right-click on the file that is on the CD and click on Properties to
turn off the Read Only attribute. Most people don't have the ability to
change the attributes directly on the CD. They have to save it to the hard
drive, USB drive, etc. first.

Hope this helps.
