Hi Kerry,
To remove the prompt to open the file as read-only in
Excel 2007, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Excel file in question.
- Click on the Office button (the round button in the top left corner).
- Click on "Prepare" in the menu on the left.
- Click on "Properties" in the sub-menu.
- In the "Document Properties" section, click on "Advanced Properties".
- In the "Summary" tab, uncheck the box next to "Read-only recommended".
- Click "OK" to close the "Advanced Properties" window.
- Click "OK" again to close the "Properties" window.
That's it! The next time you open the file, you should no longer see the prompt to open it as read-only.
