**Warn Read-Only Office Plug-In Spec**
_Requirements_
Warn a user when they try to edit a Read-Only document in an Office application (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) by displaying a pop-up dialog the first time they edit the file with an Exclamation Icon and an OK button.
**TITLE:*** In Case You Didn't Realize...*
*This is a Read-Only Document and you
will be unable to save over the original!*
*Please close and re-open for Editing
if you wish to update the original.*
The user should have the option of clicking a “Never show this warning again?? which will update the following registry key (create if necessary):
**HKCU\SOFTWARE\Max**
with value:
**ShowReadOnlyWarning**: 0
Only warn the user once per document, preferably when they start to edit the file. If not possible in all apps then could alternately warn after opening a new doc as read-only (but not ideal).
