00:08show you how to convert a read-only file

00:10into a file you can write over in

00:12Microsoft Excel

00:14now the spreadsheet I have open doesn't

00:17necessarily look read-only unless you

00:19look at the top it says invoice xlsx and

00:23then it says read-only if I try to save

00:30it's going to tell me that it says it

00:34can't save it because the file is

00:36read-only so let's go take care of that
