42976	2002-04-10 04:43:00	I could be wrong here but have you possibly saved the file to a CD or other removeable source and then copied it back to the hard drive or some one elses system. When copying back from the CD for example it could become read only. To change that just right click the doc and select properties and change it there and apply/ok. As for the doc.dot file extensions, I understood and I will stand corrected if I am wrong, I usually am, that a dot file is a template in Word.	Guest (0)
