I am having trouble saving my Word documents as they are opening in read-only mode. I cannot find a setting to change the way my Word documents are opening.

Amy, are you reffering to the 'reading mode' in Word, which it uses when you open a Word document that was attached to a message?

There are instructions on how to disable that although it's not in the scope of Thunderbird.

Hope this helps!
