Is there any way to edit a docx file that is "view only" or "Read Only".

[King Belieal]

A document file that is "View Only" or "Read Only" simply implies that one can't edit such text files. What if you see a mistake in the typing that you want to edit and correct?

Do you know any method that you can get to edit such a text document file that is "Read Only" or "View Only"?

Hi, actually, when a file is in "Read-only" or "View" mode, it means we can't edit it directly to maintain its integrity. However, there are several ways to modify it if we really need to make changes. One simple option is to make a copy of the file and save it with a different name; then we can edit that copy without any problems. Another alternative is to change the file permissions, if we have access to the document properties or system permissions, and remove the read-only restriction. There are also programs or tools that allow you to unlock protected files, but you have to be careful and make sure you have the necessary permissions to avoid legal issues. In short, as long as we have the appropriate authorization, we can copy, change permissions, or use specific tools to edit "Read-only" files.

Just copy all the texts in the file and create a new document. With that, you would be able to edit very well.
