Hello,

Sir or Mam,

I currently run microsoft word 2003 on my PC. I can view items on my thumb drive and on my desktop but I am unable to edit them. I ran a converter to 2007 a while back and I was able to edit contents. For some reason I am unable to edit contents now. I would greatly appreciate some help with this matter. Thank you. Nick

What error do you receive?

Are you trying to edit the file which is on the thumb drive?
I can view the material but I can't edit or type anything on the thumb drive when I attempt to edit. I am trying to edit the content on the thumb drive. For some reason it will not allow me to type over content that is on microsoft word.
