- Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0a
- Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0c
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q128992 SUMMARY
When you open a document by double-clicking its filename in File Manager
and the document has been saved with the Read-Only Recommended option
selected, no "Read-Only" message appears in Word.
By contrast, if you open the same document by choosing Open from the File
menu and selecting the document's name from the File Name list, the
following message appears
<documentname> should be opened as read-only unless changes to it need
to be saved. Open as read-only?
where <documentname> is the name of the document you're opening.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
Select the Read-Only Recommended option when you want to recommend, but not
require, that others open a document as read-only. When a user opens a
document protected with this option, Word indicates that the document
should be opened as read-only unless changes need to be saved. The user can
open the document either normally or as a read-only document.
