Default how do I send a spreadsheet so it's not a "read only"

Thanks!

Hi jlacher

If the workbook was sent as an attachment, then it's Read Only because
it's still embedded in your e-mail.

Click File Save as , save it and it'll lose the Read Only tag.

If you were sent a shortcut to the file on a shared drive then someone
else has the file open so you will have to wait for them to close it.
