MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / June 2007Read only file
I have a publisher file saved to cd. Properties show that it is a read only file and won't allow me access to change it. When I try to open it as read only or save it back to my hard drive, it tells me that it can't open the file. I really just want to print the file. Won't it open because it's a read only or is there something else wrong?  SignatureThanks, Dana It becomes read-only when you put it on the CD by design. Never open the file on the CD, copy it to your HD first. If it's read-only at that point, you just change the attributes. http://www.febooti.com/products/filetweak/tutorials/tutorial-changing-file-attri butes.html SignatureJoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 >I have a publisher file saved to cd.

I tried your suggestion, but I do not have an attributes tab when I click on the files properties. It was created in publisher and contains both photo and text.

Also, When I try to copy the file from the cd to the correct folder on my hard drive, it gives me an error message: Cannot copy file: data error (cyclic redundancy check)?

The CD is corrupted. You could try making a copy of the CD with a CD copying program and a CD writer, but the chances are you're data is lost.
