hi my name is Bree Clark and I'm a
software expert and today I'm going to
show you how to convert a read-only file
into a file you can write over in
Microsoft Excel
now the spreadsheet I have open doesn't
necessarily look read-only unless you
look at the top it says invoice xlsx and
then it says read-only if I try to save
it's going to tell me that it says it
can't save it because the file is
read-only so let's go take care of that
I'm going to click OK and then I'm just
going to press escape to get out of the
save as dialog box I'm going to close
this file for right now and come over to
Windows and browse to where the file
exists here it is invoice XLS X I'm
going to right click on it and go down
to properties and in here
it has an attribute on the general tab
of read-only so I'm going to click that
checkbox to uncheck it and click OK now
I'm going to double click invoice xlsx
to open it up and this time it opens up
and does not say read-only at the top
and if I click Save I don't get an error
