This really pissed me off because it felt like a Mafia shakedown, or a terrorist hostage taking, or kidnapping holding my child for ransom I can barely afford to pay! And I need the sleep so bad, but here it’s nearly 9am, and I haven’t gotten my document open. First I had to buy MS Word 365 because I am using Open Office, but I could n’t open the file. It seems like this change was only made to docx files, so saving the file as a dotx (word template) works as a temporary solution.I have spent 5 hours trying to find a way to open this document, a 50 page play that I haven’t opened in 15 years.Filling forms in the documents is also blocked.
Already tested it with oldĭocuments that used to work fine, but that now also open with editing This is not an issue with the documents.Since a few days ago an Office update seems to have made it so that when you open a file as read only all editing is disabled, and there's a dropdown on the top right of the ribbon, between the share and feedback buttons, that has all the options greyed except for viewing (image 2, except the first two options are disabled).ĭoes anyone know of a way to revert this change and allow temporary editing of read-only files?
Since I don't want those changes to be saved, I'm used to opening the files as read-only (image 1) to avoid accidental saves. I need to open those files, make some temporary changes and then print them. I've some documents on a network share that are password protected.
