Back button opens a new Read-Only document
hbear655 hi, did you ever solve 'your quick access 'back' function opening a new copy of the document in RO mode?
Same started happening to me. New laptop and MSO install. Same version. Very weird
shhb65 - I don't have a solution, but it resolved itself at some point.
I suspect it was an issue with how my company stores files... We have a network drive that's Read/Write and another where it's only Read. The Back button was opening a second Word document from the Read drive, instead of navigating in the Read/Write version I was working in. I don't think I changed anything to make it work.
Sorry to not have an answer; I know that's a frustrating problem to have. Good luck!
hbear655 thank you. I'll look into that possibility with my work tech team. They are making many changes so could be a shared folder issue. Prehaps take a local copy any try thar. Annoying as it was a useful tool when editing docs with many hyper links with the file.
