Word Files are automatically converting to read-only attribute

i am using windows 8.1 & office 365 business(office2013). my saved word files to my laptop are automatically converting frequently to ready-only attribute. even i have tried to change security permissions. i need to change properties of documents folders very frequently to work on my word files, kindly help me to out from this problem permanently.

See the article "I keep getting files that I am working on locked for editing. Word only allows me to open them read-only” at:

Were these files created on your laptop or downloaded from (say) USB storage?
