title: Open a Read Only file as non read only and save/overwrite
body: <p>I have a number of word documents I am converting. Everything is going great until I get a file that is read only. In this case I get a Save As prompt. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to open the file in read/write format? I should have admin privileges so access isn't an issue.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using VB.net to open the files. More specifically</p>
  
  <pre><code>doc = word.Documents.Open(path, Type.Missing, False, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing)
  </code></pre>
