I have a problem. A person I am working with has had all Office applications lock-up so that when he tries to edit anything in Word, PowerPoint, or Excel, it comes up saying that it is a "read only file". It is doing this to hundreds of files (all part of a proposal that is due). Any ideas on what could be causing it and/or how to correct this?

How do I uninstall the trial version of office professional 2007
I installed the trial version and am now tring to delete it. When I first tried to delete it the program started to delete and then stopped. I thought something had froze the computer so I shut it down and restarted the computer. I then tried to delete the program again and it said that my computer did not support the language and would not delete. I thought this may have to do with me shuting the computer off with only a partial delete so I restored my computer to a few days back and now when I try to delete it nothing happens. I go to control panel, add or remove programs, the programs populate, I choose microsoft office professional 2007 trial program, the program highlights in blue I have the option to change or remove I click remove the color changes and then goes back to blue and nothing happens. Nothing works wheni click change either. I there another way to delete this program? Please Help as I have a home based business that requires this program and I am unable to install another office program with this on there it wont let me. -- Thanks

It is doing this to hundreds of files (all part of a proposal that is due). Any ideas on what could be causing it and/or how to correct this? Just select all the offending files in Windows Explorer, right click, select Properties and clear the read only attribute. If the files were restored from a CD backup, that would have done it.

The read-only attribute was set but unfortunately he's still unable to edit any of the documents. He is also unable to edit ANY documents anywhere else on his computer (i.e. other folders). He is unable to edit ANY office documents.

Something ain't right here! Do you know how the file attributes got set? Has something been done/happened to this PC recently? To go back to basics, and please excuse me if I ask the obvious; This is a hard drive rather than removable or network device? The drive has plenty of free space? The machine has been virus checked, and has anti-virus software installed? Other than that I'm currently stumped; but I'll keep thinking.... If you need the files, can they be copied to another PC and accessed from there? edit any of the documents. He is also unable to edit ANY documents anywhere else on his computer (i.e. other folders). He is unable to edit ANY office documents.

2.Several things if anyone is willing to help a total novice user of Excel
I haven't the vaguest idea what I'm doing in Excel but I'm learning REALLY quickly :) Very very long shot that there's one of you extremely clever Excel people out there that can help make my life MUCH easier ? I'm looking for some code that will work across Worksheets in a Workbook that will reflect whatever is typed in the associated cells in the linked sheets when any of the cells is edited... follow me ? The other thing I'd like to do is to highlight a cell in a different colour if it's altered - there also wants to be an easy way to remove the colour of the cell without changing the data, and this wants to work across Sheets... this wants to be only available to those that know how to do it... Don't really want much do I :) Haven't finished either...! I would really like to be able to have a master Worksheet in which I have Cells which I can put text that will then name some other Worksheets in the Workbook... The Cells I want to get the names from are not just in one column or row but in a block in the middle of the master Worksheet and there are other Cells on another Worksheet that are taking the names from these Cells... Told you I didn't want much ! ;) I know I'd be able to produce this database much easier using Access but work won't allow us to use it :( TIA Nick
