I took laptop to the shop, shifted work to an old laptop, now all my documents are read-only. How do I take read only off? It’s a couple of very big files; I’m in trouble if I cannot find a way. The other laptop also has LibreOffice. When I view these documents on my regular laptop only part of the regular Calc display shows. I tried downloading Libreoffice 5 a second time and it made no difference. I tried importing the documents using my thumb drive a second time - no difference. Do I really have to use my old laptop now to use these documents? That would be absurd. I’ve been at this all day, trying suggestion after suggestion, to no avail. I guess I could resign myself to using my old laptop just for these documents, but there must be another way.
I have now attempted to email it to myself as an attachment. Still converts to read only.
