Description tmason 2002-10-24 09:16:46 UTC 
If a document is read only (write protected), the "copy" option is not 
available from the context menu. Copying can still be done using keyboard, 
menus, or toolbar, but it would be good if it was available from the context 
menu, as is the case in normal documents.

For example:
1) open new document
2) type some text
3) save document + close it
4) change document status to "read only" (using windows explorer or whatever...)
5) open the document
6) select some of the text
7) right click on the selected text
8) "copy" option is not available on context menu

It is already possible to copy the selected text with Ctrl+C so it 
would be consistent to have it in the context menu.

Considered for 'Office Later'.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
