17.2. Open a Read-Only Instance of a Document

It can be very frustrating when someone leaves a file open that you need to edit.  If you are just glancing at a document and don't intend to edit it in any way, you can open the file in read-only mode so that others can still open and edit the file.

Here's how:

• Find the document you wish to open in read-only mode

• Right-click on the document and choose "Open Read-Only"

  

You have now opened a read-only copy of the document.
