: Sorry for the confusion
: Documents that have been password protected against modification, when you
: open them you are given a choice of either entering the password to modify
: the doc or open it as a read only document. If you put in the password
: everything works ok but if you choose to open it as read only the document
: does not open and reacts in identical manner as if you have pressed a
cancel
: button. I have tried to open the documents on other machines in the
building
: and they all work perfectly. These documents are test results from an
: external source and therefore must not be modified. I have created test
docs
: on this machine with identical results. I have tried the following.
:
: renaming the normal.dot file
: logging in as administrator
: starting in safe mode
: uninstalling and reinstalling into a different directory
: giving everyone full control permission on every part of the disk drive
:
: The process was working fine untill last week when there was a problem in
: booting up the machine I did a "fixboot" after that everything seemed to
work
: ok until a few days later when they tried to open one of these test
reports.
: I don't know if these two events are connected. It seems odd that would
cause
: such a relative small problem.

: I hope that is clearer
