Read only wordperfect files

When I try to open it and continue using it, I have to rename each time. I've verified that the "read only" option is not checked. Anyone have any solutions? If the hard disk used to store the files is formatted using NTFS, it's possible that the files have read-only permissions applied to them.

I vaguely remembered WP 11 having issues with NTFS permissions but it took a bit of digging googling, really to find potential fixes. Adjustments are made to the margins, font size, and line spacing, to force the text into the smaller space. You can control which adjustments are made. For example, if you do not want to alter the document margins, you could only allow adjustments to the font size and line spacing.

Enter the desired number of pages, then enable or disable the check boxes to control which adjustments are made. Choose Make It Fit. Figure 3 Make It Fit adjusts margins, font size and line spacing to expand or contract text so that it fits within a specific number of pages.

The most common problem with copying and pasting between documents is that formatting codes are inadvertently copied over with the text where they can cause problems and unexpected results. Since the codes are invisible until you turn on Reveal Codes, you probably don't even realize you are inserting extra codes when you paste text from other sources. That is, until the pasted-in codes cause conflicts with the existing codes.

The solution is simply to paste the text in without any formatting, so the text adopts the formatting of the source document. This called Paste Unformatted and appears as a shortcut on the QuickMenu. After you select and copy the text you need, switch to the source document and position the insertion point where you want to paste the text.

Right-click, then choose Paste Unformatted Text. How often would you say that you create a new document by opening an existing document and making changes to it? And how often do you forget to change the name of the existing document and accidentally save your changes on top of the original?

Probably more often that you care to admit. There is a simple way to make sure it doesn't happen again. Notice that there are two buttons: Open and Open as copy. If you click Open as copy, instead of Open, the file opens in a read-only mode. This means you will not be able to save changes back to the original name — you'll have to rename the file to save any changes. Open as copy prevents you from accidentally modifying important files.

Hidden away in the menus is a conduit to a graphics program that you can use to create custom graphics or to modify graphics from other sources. WPD files in Microsoft Word from now on. Way 4.
