First of all you need to know why the file is READ ONLY there are a
couple of good reasons for example
the file could be saved as READ ONLY by purpose or a file could been
improperly closed.
If improper closed you see a file that starts with .~lock. than your
file name and anding with # e.g. .~lock.Untitled 1.ods#
You could delete this lock file and open your document
OpenOffice give you the option to open these file in READ ONLY mode or
open a COPY
Changing EXTENSIONS don't solve anything it causes only other problems
SO here you have the FINAL resolution

How come HELP does not deal with READ ONLY to open and add/edit spreadsheets
Instructions refer to EDIT-SELECT TEXT. There no such selection available
under EDIT!!!!
Cannot understand why there is such a problem in dealing with READ ONLY and
why it is even applied to a spreadsheet in the first place. It should be an
option for the USER to protect data as one sees fit. PERIOD.
Will changing EXTENSION problem? If so to what and how? THNXS for a FINAL
resolution (have been trying to solve for a long time.
