WORD DOCX FILES

why word doc x file

1) opens in read-only mode ?

and

2) unable delete file ?

hi,

first, select word file, right click -> properties , check whether “read-only” option checked.

and here situation file opened in read-only mode:

• the file opened internet location
• the file received outlook 2010 attachment , computer policy has defined sender unsafe
• the file opened unsafe location
• the file blocked file block
• file validation failure
• the file opened in protected view using open in protected view option.

for more information, please refer link:

as second issue, have error message when delete file?

so, please check whether file opened when try delete.

and check whether there file ~$*.*; *.tmp, if see that, delete them , try delete.
