How to revoke the 'read-only mode' of a Word document?

php editor Zimo will introduce to you how to cancel the "read-only mode" of a Word document. When we cannot edit a Word document, it may be because the document is set to read-only mode. To deactivate read-only mode, just right-click on the file, select "Properties", cancel the "read-only" option, and save. In addition, you can also copy the document content to a new document, so that you can continue to edit and save the document. Hope these methods can help you solve the problem of document read-only mode.

How to cancel this mode?

First of all, we need to check whether the "read-only mode" is simply set, or whether the "restricted password" is set.

Because these two methods will make the Word document invisible and unable to perform other operations. To be more precise, the read-only mode can be edited, but the original file cannot be saved, and the password restriction makes it completely inoperable.

If you only set the "read-only mode", we can see the words "read-only" at the top of the word document.

.

In this "read-only mode", we only need to save this Word document as a new document, and the "read-only mode" will be cancelled.

.

If the "read-only mode" that restricts passwords is set, we can see that in the Word document, the toolbars above are gray and cannot be used.

.

At this time, the restriction can only be lifted by entering the password. First, find [Review] on the upper toolbar, and then click [Restrict Editing];

.

Click [Stop Protection] under [Restrict Editing], and a password dialog box will appear. As long as you enter the password, the restriction can be removed, and the restricted editing in "read-only mode" will be revoked.

.

If you don’t remember this restriction password, you cannot cancel this mode, because Word does not have a password recovery option, and it cannot be removed directly.

If it doesn't work after trying several times, we have a simpler way to directly remove the "restrictions" of the Word document with the help of relevant tools.

For example, the Pepsi Niu Word password recovery tool imports the Word document into the "Unrestriction" interface. After clicking [Start], you can directly remove the "restricted editing" of the Word document without a password.

The Word document after the restriction is lifted will be saved as a new document. Click [Go to View] to find it.
