Re: [libreoffice-users] downloaded .doc file will only open as read-only

Hi :)
Errr, it's probably an attachment that just needs to be downloaded/saved onto your machine first.  
Another way is to open the file and then choose "Save As ..." to save the file onto your computer 
properly.  Then the icon-bar and stuff should become visible or stop being "greyed out".  
Regards from 
Tom :)

​Michael, have you tried copying the entire text of the document in
question with «Ctrl+A» and pasting it into a new document with «Ctrl+V» ?
That should allow you to fill in the required fields and therewith resolve
the problem....​
