I have just purchased a new hard drive with Vista / Windows 7.
I am a full time journalist and becasue I am so familiar with MS Office Word 2003 I had it loaded on my new drive.
My trouble is after I save a Word file I alaways back it up on my external hard drive for saftey sake.
Whenever I attempt to do this now, however, I always get the dialogue box "This is a read only file".
How do I get rid of this annoying, frustrating problem.
I simply want to back up a word document on an external drive ... so why won't it let me do it. And why does it stipulate that it is a "Read only file" when I never saved it originally as such???????????????????
Thank you so much.
