Copy the file locally, edit it, copy it back. Ideally use a version
control system to manage this.

Rdegan reckoned:

One user on our network experiences the following: every document opens
read-only, even if thios is not set in the document's properties.

Often the document will open normally and then during editing the document
it becomes read-only requiring a "file save-as" to save any new work.

What could be causing this peculiar behaviour?
