If the file have the Read-Only attribute set in its properties, find the file in File Explorer, press ALT+ENTER to open the Properties dialog and uncheck the Read-Only checkbox. If the file was marked as final using the Word 2007 and latter feature for that, either press F6 to focus the Word status bar and right arrow until the Edit Anyway button, or press ALT+F to open the File tab. On the Backstage view or File tab, press TAB until the Protect Document item and activate it with SPACEBAR; in the menus which will open, uncheck the Mark as Final option.
Regarding INSERT+Z, this JAWS command in Word turns on or off the Navigation Quick Keys. Since when these are turned on you can't edit the document, unlike the Virtual Cursor in web pages, e-mail messages and PDF documents, this feature is not active in Word by default. Moreover, this only makes JAWS to intercept some keys temporarily. It doesn't actually make the document read-only nor affect it in any way.
