Word files Read-Only in Windows 7

[Computer]

I've moved from window XP pro to 7 pro x64 on my desktop, reinstalled the same copy of office 2007 I had on the xp system.

Now, all the word documents (both .docx and .doc) open as read only files if they were created before I installed 7. New ones I make now are fine, but the old ones I've made in XP are read only. In the file properties the read only box is NOT checked. I've checked and unchecked it several times to try and remove the read only to no avail.

Anyone know what to do?

thanks!

Hi,

Just a thought, but what are the Security permissions set to be...?

If you've got administrative rights, you could change those - if required....
