turn off document protection

[Vanayssa]

I have a CD with a few documents on it and I need to turn off the protection
that seems to be on the whole CD. I want to remove some documents totally and
edit the main document. I have tried the Tools menu and there is no "Remove
AutoProtect" or Remove Protect or anything on it, I have checked all the
menus on that list. I tried removing the text in the entire document and it
wouldn't save it that way either. Anyway. Any ideas? I have XP. The documents
are all my own by the way. Vanayssa

I suspect that the problem is that the documents are on a CD and has nothing
to do with Word functionality. Generally, CDs are read-only, so it's
unlikely that you would be able to make modifications of any sort to
documents on a CD and then save them back to the CD. There are exceptions,
of course, but in the first instance I would try copying the files to your
hard disk and trying working with them there.
