Cannot open for writing

I am getting this message, "Cannot open for writing" when I try to save files in my book in FrameMaker 13 (Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2015). I have downloaded all updates.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Gina

Where are you trying to save them? Do you have enough rights to that location? Was this ever working or did it just suddenly occur?

This was actually a windows explorer issue, didn't realize read-only flags were enabled.

I am trying to save files locally that I need to edit. I am able to save other FrameMaker files in other books with no problem, but this particular book was handed off to me from another writer (no longer here).

Is there a setting for write permissions anywhere?
