thanks for the quick response... besides doing that is there any other way to
receive this files not in "read-only?" and directly edit it

Hi,

How come all word docs sent to me are always in read-only?? Is there a way
when I open these file they are not in "read-only" so i could edit them at
once?

I tried sending a file to myself which was not saved in read-only. And
then when i opened it ..... yep... it's still a read-only doc.

please help
