General Mac Question
 

I was just transferring some Microsoft Word files off my PC to my new PowerBook. The only problem is that these files are all "read only" files and I can't change them or save as. How do I change them to not "read only"?

The only thing I see is copy/paste the text in your Mac version of MS and saving them as new files.

Thats what it recommends, but thats so much work :(

no it isn't

That neg rep was rather easy to give, as for fixing all my files is still a bitch

wow my first negative rep :|

I...do not care

If you have the solution then why the fuck not just do it? By the time it took you to post this, you would have been long done.

BTW try right clicking it and hitting properties, and then unchecking Read Only. (PC)

My solution was "Save As" to all the files I want to still use, and considering I have over 1,000 files in this folder its not worth the effort.
