It used to be possible to save an original read only Word document as an
editable version for review and comment and possible revision. I don't seem
to be able to do this now. Why?

If the original read only file is not to be altered, should a comment
function at least be operable?

No, read only is read only.

Did you try changing the file attributes?

I do change the file name when I do a save as. For example:
original: xyz.doc
Save as: xyz_1Feb07.doc

So, changing the name did not remove the read only restriction.
