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.
