I use Word 2007 for documents. Recently, when I save a document, I've been getting the message 'This is a Read Only document' although I didn't create it as such. What am I doing to cause this to happen?

Duh! I forgot I'd asked this before! Thanks factor-fiction.
This also happens to me occasionally. A few suggestions here (I haven't tried them myself yet):

Do you have administrative rights on your computer? If not then that's probably why you can't click on the "trust center".

Also, did someone else create the document?

If so then it could be that only they can change it from a "read only" document.

Can you find the file with Windows Explorer?

If so then right click on the file and go to properties and see if you can change the "read only" status that way.
