^(Office)Word等^(Word)Office应用程序会定期，有时在未经用户同意的情况下将文件在使用时转换为“只读”模式^{(Read-only’ mode)}。由于该模式不允许编辑，因此默认状态的更改可能很烦人。不过，您可以解决此问题，方法如下！

Word以只读模式打开文档

除了您之外，如果其他人可以访问您的 PC，那么他/她可能会意外或故意锁定它，以防止任何人更改文件的内容。如果Microsoft Word文档在 Windows 11/10 PC 上以只读^(Read-only)模式打开，那么您需要采取以下步骤来解决此问题，然后您可以按照以下方法在Word中删除只读模式：

1. 禁用编辑限制
2. 取消选中“在阅读视图中打开^(Open)电子邮件附件和其他不可编辑的文件”。
3. 更改 Word 文件属性
4. 禁用文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}中的预览窗格^{(Preview Pane)}。

让我们详细介绍一下上述方法。

1]禁用编辑限制

打开只读 Word 文档。

转到“查看^(Review)”选项卡，然后在其下查找“限制编辑^{(Restrict Editing)}”选项。

单击^(Click)选项卡。然后，在打开的新窗格中，查找“停止保护^{(Stop protection)}”按钮。它应该在窗格底部可见。按下按钮。

当系统提示您输入密码时，请要求配置密码的人将其提供给您。

输入^(Enter)密码以删除只读模式。

2]取消选中“在阅读视图中打开电子邮件附件和其他不可编辑的文件”

有时当您收到作为附件的 word 文件并尝试打开它进行编辑时，您无法执行此操作，因为它以“只读”模式打开。

在您的计算机上打开Word文件。单击“文件^(File)”选项卡并转到“选项^(Options)”。

在打开的Word 选项^{(Word Options)}窗口中，切换到左侧边栏中的“常规”选项卡。^(General)

然后，在右窗格中，向下滚动并查找显示为“在阅读视图中打开电子邮件附件和其他不可编辑的文件^{(Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view)}”的选项。

取消选中该选项标记的框，然后单击“确定”按钮以保存更改。

此后^(Hereafter)，您收到的任何作为电子邮件附件的Word文件现在都应该以常规模式打开，让您可以随意编辑它们。

3]更改Word文件属性

右键单击^{(Right-click)}仅在“只读”模式下打开的Word文档，然后选择“^(Word)属性^(Properties)”。

取消选中标记为“只读^(Read-only)”选项的框。

4]禁用^(Disable)文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}中的预览窗格^{(Preview Pane)}

这对一些人有帮助。看看对你有没有帮助；否则反转更改。

转到“这台电脑”部分，然后单击“查看^(View)”选项卡。

现在，只需在“窗格^(Panes)”部分中选择“预览窗格^{(Preview pane)}”选项。如果之前启用，这将禁用窗格。

That’s it!

Word opens documents in Read-only mode in Windows 11/10

Office applications like Word periodically, and ѕometimes, without the consent of a user сonverts a file to ‘Read-only’ mode while it is being used. The change in default status can be annoying since the mode allows no editing. Nevertheless, you can fix this issue, here’s how!

Word opens documents in Read-only mode

Apart from you, if someone else has access to your PC then, chances are he/she has locked it accidentally or deliberately to prevent anyone from making changes to the contents of a file. If Microsoft Word documents are opening in Read-only mode on your Windows 11/10 PC, then here are the steps you need to take to fix the issue, then you can remove read-only mode in Word by following these methods:

1. Disabling Edit Restrictions
2. Unchecking ‘Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view’.
3. Changing Word File Properties
4. Disabling the Preview Pane In File Explorer.

Let’s cover the methods described above in a bit of detail.

1] Disable Edit Restrictions

Open the Read-only Word document.

Go to the ‘Review’ tab and under it look for the option that reads ‘Restrict Editing’.

Click the tab. Then, in the new pane that opens, look for the ‘Stop protection’ button. It should be visible at the bottom of the pane. Hit the button.

When prompted for the password, request the person who configured it to provide it to you.

Enter the password to remove Read-only mode.

2] Uncheck ‘Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view’

Sometimes when you receive a word file as an attachment and try to open it to edit it, you cannot do it since it opens in the ‘Read-only’ mode.

Open the Word file on your computer. Click the ‘File’ tab and go to ‘Options’.

In the Word Options window that opens, switch to the ‘General’ tab in the left sidebar.

Then, in the right-pane, scroll down and look for the option that reads as ‘Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view’.

Uncheck the box marked against the option and hit the ‘OK’ button to save the changes.

Hereafter, any Word files you receive as email attachments should now open in regular mode letting you edit them however you want.

3] Change Word File Properties

Right-click the Word document that opens only in ‘Read-only’ mode and select ‘Properties’.

Un-check the box marked against ‘Read-only’ option.

4] Disable the Preview Pane In File Explorer

This ahs helped some. See if it helps you; else reverse the changes.

Go to ‘This PC’ section and click on the ‘View’ tab.

Now, simply select the option that says ‘Preview pane’ in the Panes section. This will disable the pane if it was enabled before.

That’s it!
