The fix for this was/is absolutely ridiculous.

I ended up connecting to Microsoft and allowing them remote access to my laptop. Fix this. Click that. Reset this. Reinstall Office. Use a program called Tweaking (which reset everything). On and on. Nothing works. I'm connected to them for just over 2 hours. Very frustrating.

I should also point out: the issue was with Microsoft Power Point. No other programs were displaying the same issue, despite me thinking so (that's what happens when you're up all night and going on 2 hours of sleep).

While waiting for the tech to connect me to Microsoft Office support I came across this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...3-cf6a31e76066

I followed the directions about the details pane and it's all fixed now! Isn't that odd? Even the tech on the other end was "wtf!"

I've done a couple reboots and shutdowns, and it's all fixed now. No longer "read only" with the Power Point files. I even checked other Power Point files saved in various locations, and it's all good.

Just the weirdest thing.
