Word won't save file - 'Read Only'

C

Comp

I have a large Word document about 50,000k (800 pages with some graphics
embedded). When I work on it, I 'File\ Save' it every half hour or so to be
sure I don't loose my work. But occasionally when I do this Word responds
that it cannot save the file because it is 'read only' and I have to save it
under a different name. I don't think I've done anything unusual (just
normal typing) so I can't understand why the file has suddenly acquired a
read only attribute.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help appreciated. Thanks

I don't think this happens with smaller files, but I'm not certain).
