"toggle read only" is a button that may be added to any toolbar in Excel
(Tools, Customize, File category.) I find this button very useful, for
instance when I open a spreadsheet from "My Recent Documents" which was last
not opened read-only, but I want it read-only now; or when I open a
spreadsheet read-only, but then want to makje and save a change.

This is not available in Word, I would like it available there too.
