Hello,

I have created a word document and would like to create a read only copy of the document and share it on a shared drive.  How do i go about accomplishing this.  This would be similar to creating an excel document and adding formulas to the original file, does word allow this?

thanks

ali

Hi

To accomplish this, we can simply save the document to a shared filder in File>Save as

Then select the right location you want to place the document.

To save as a read-only copy of document, refer to the following link:

In addition create a PDF copy of document can also give you a read-only file.
