Sorry andrew but that's not what he means A "save a copy" is where the file gets saved but then it doesn't switch to that file as the file being 'edited' so for example you could be editing foobar.odt and save a copy as foobar.doc to test how well it opens in MS word
but since you 'saved a copy' rather than just saved you can open the file without it being locked, and whenever you save the file again it'll still save it to foobar.odt Abiword has this. As does a lot of other open source apps. OpenOffice seems not to have bothered just because MS hasn't bothered, even though it's probably simple to implement.
