HI
We are now using Office 2010 and Windows 2007. I receive many excel spreadsheets every month showing our spend with a particular reseller. Previously I (using Excel 2003) I could sum the spreadsheet and save the edit in the email.

Now I can't do any edits to any spreadsheets including some of my old ones sitting on my own drive.

They often have READ ONLY. Or I'm just not able to save a small edit without creating a spreadsheet with a SAVE AS. As many times as I tweak these spreadsheets, I do not want to create a new spreadsheet each time.

Note that I'm aware of the Enable Editing feature that has to be enabled.

There are 2 things. How can I edit an excel spreadsheet that is attached to an email?

How can I get rid of the READ ONLY feature that seems to appear automatically on my spreadsheets and others?

THANKS
Lindberg
