Hmm - even if the files you are opening are office, the read only option only works from within office applications. That is you have to be in word or excel or whatever. Choose file open from the menu or shortcut key, and get the file open dialog box, the click the little right arrow extra choices thingie to the right of the open button. While all those key strokes could be saved in a Macro, you would have to run that macro from within word or excel or whatever, which is not what you have in mind. Sorry, thought I had something.
I'll be in my bunk.

x-post. I realized at the same time you did that it would not work.

So... do I want to download iTunes 7.2 or wait until some other lab rat type tries it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm using iTunes 7.2. I just upgraded four songs to iTunes plus!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've been using it since this morning. I don't have much more interest than before in buying anything from the store, but the app seems stable so far.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How does that work? You can upgrade a song you already bought without having to buy the iTunes Plus song outright? How much is it to do this?

It's 30ยข a song. And iTunes only found four songs out of about 170 that I've purchased that could be upgraded.

Here's a question that shows how anal I am. When you upgrade a song, does it preserve the song's stats? (Date added, play count, rating, etc.)
