RE: How to make an MS Word Document a read only file

Donna,

Another way to do this is from the Save As dialogue, which you also get
when you first save a document. You can check a "Read only recommended"
box so that when you open the document you are asked whether you want it
read only or not; the default is read only. The same dialogue also
allows you to put two passwords on the document, one to open the
document, and another to be able to modify it.

I don't have Word 2002 on this PC, but in Word 97 there is an Options
button on the Save As dialogue which leads to the dialogue containing
these options. in Word 2007 the Save As dialogue has a Tools button
menu; choose General Options to get the necessary dialogue.

Hi,
I went into Windows Explorer and went to one of my word documents and
clicked the right mouse button.   I went to property. I then turned the
JAWS cursor on and tab to the readonly check box and pressed the space
bar.  It worked.

I have the same version of Windows and JFW that you have.  However, I
believe that we have Word 2003 now.

I am using JFW 7, Windows XP and MS Word 2002.  I have created a
document 
and want to save it as a read only file so it is not lost or corrupted.
For 
the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do it.  When I go into 
properties, I can get to read only with the jaws cursor, but cannot
figure 
out how to check it.  Any assistance would be appreciated.
