Hi Fina, You can't do this in DBT, but it's possible another way. Go in to My Computer, and locate the file/folder. Highlight the file you want to write protect. Right click, and select Properties. Tab down to the "Read Only" check box, and check it. Click on O.K. George. ________________________________ From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Fina currey Sent: 07 February 2006 02:24 To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] read only files Hello Listers, I was wondering if anybody could tell me if it's possible, in duxbury, to save files in "read only" format so that nobody can go in and edit or alter the files in any way. I know how to do this in word but wasn't sure whether it would carry over to Duxbury once taken in to be translated into braille. I have some books i need to save as read only text files and don't them to be edited or altered in any way. Thanks in advance. Regards, Fina Currey f.currey@xxxxxxxxx
