Hi, Lori.
Been there, done that. <smiles> The first time I got that message I was a
little freaked out because I thought the file was illegal or corrupted or
something.
I think all of the RTF files are considered read only when they're opened
for the first time.
All you need to do to fix the problem is to save the file in another place
once you've unzipped the file in MS word and have verified that the file is
complete, you can use the save as option under the file menu. You can
shift+tab to find a list of drives and folders on your PC in which to save
the file. I have mine in the main My documents folder, which is in a sub
folder called Books to Validate. This way I always know what I'm working on
and can find the document easier.
Hope this helps.
Lisa

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Read-only File
Hello, I downloaded Lessi's Book "Celebrate". I did so because I am wanting
to validate in word rather than in Openbook, and I thought this short file
would be a way to get started. however, this is a read-only file and I don't
find any option to change from read-only to allow me to edit and save the
changed file.
If someone could tell me how to change a .rft file from read-only to edit, I
would appreciate it.
Otherwise, I'll just release the book in the morning.
I have been validating books in openbook, but frankly after having to reject
three books in that format I would like to validate .rft files. I
understand that I should be able to edit .rft files with Openbook, but
attempting that hasn't worked so well for me either. Maybe I should stick
to simply submitting books.
