Hi,
If you open a read-only Word document or a document from email attachment or something else the Word considers that should not be edited, the document opens in some Read-only mode. If you wish to edit this file, there is an option in View->Edit Document. I had a problem how to enter this edit mode via OLE automation from Delphi. After a lot of time, I discovered ReadingLayout property. For example:
Off course, read-only mode can be disabled in Word options, but I can not know in advance whether someone has disabled this option or not![Smile]( "Smile")
Best regards!
