Is there a way to force Powershell to open a document as read-only and close without saving?

powershell file-io

For read only, try this:

$word.Documents.Open("$doc.Fullname", $false, $true)

For closing, try this:

$word.Documents.Close($false)

The MSDN links seem pretty clear about the order these parameters need to appear in and the above worked for me.

powershell file-io

Probably you forgot to close the the file in your program. For me defer file.Close() (goLang) fixed it.
