Read only file

[Dana K]

I have a publisher file saved to cd. Properties show that it is a read only
file and won't allow me access to change it. When I try to open it as read
only or save it back to my hard drive, it tells me that it can't open the
file. I really just want to print the file. Won't it open because it's a
read only or is there something else wrong?

It becomes read-only when you put it on the CD by design. Never open the
file on the CD, copy it to your HD first. If it's read-only at that point,
you just change the attributes.

I tried your suggestion, but I do not have an attributes tab when I click on
the files properties. It was created in publisher and contains both photo
and text.

Also, When I try to copy the file from the cd to the correct folder on my
hard drive, it gives me an error message: Cannot copy file: data error
(cyclic redundancy check)?

The CD is corrupted. You could try making a copy of the CD with a CD
copying program and a CD writer, but the chances are you're data is lost.
