Files [READ ONLY] but no indication they are, so cannot save changes
I have the latest (ends in .1212) client and am still seeing an issue that has been there since the initial release back in Sept/Oct. I can open a file in Excel, either from the MRU list in Excel...
How do you remove the Read-Only so you can edit the file. Most spreadsheets are a work in progress where you publish and then change the sheet.
You cannot. Once this happens, the only fix is to close and reopen the file. If you've mace changes, you have to save the file with a different name, close it, then delete the old file, rename the new file to the old name, and open it.
Of course, you lose all history of the old file when you do this.
This is still happening today even though MS has released the new client out of beta, and still no repsonse from them.
