Nora, Often when you get a message saying that a file is read-only, you can still open it, but you can't save it back with the same name. If that's the case, go ahead and open the file and use Save As ... to save it back with a new name.
I doubt that your case is that simple however. It sounds like it won't let you open it at all. If you control-click the file, you will get some options that allow you to get info about the file, open it with other compatible programs, etc. It might be worth a try to see if any other programs on your computer can open the file. If nothing else works (and the file doesn't contain anything too sensitive) you might try emailing it to me or someone on the list to see if we can open it, then we could save it back under a different name and email it back to you.
