Hello

I opened a package to start working on, it says Read Only file. I went to the properties and removed the tick of Read-Only.
The file didn't change and is still a Read -only File which means I cannot save any translation on it.

can you help me on how to make it functioning or should i return it to the client to remove it?

Waiting for your reply
Regards,

Try saving a copy of the file, with a different name.

"Save As" May 2, 2019

Just use the "Save As" function of Studio to save the file, either in a separate folder or with a new name.

:D May 2, 2019

The file opened a while ago.
I have no idea how and why but it just opened.

I think the problem is my ignorance in trados. I don't work much on it.

I ll keep the pc and the file active till I finish it.
I fear if I shut down, I wouldn't know how to open it.

Thanks
