On the main toolbar you will find an "/Edit File/" icon. Clicking that
icon allows you to edit read only documents.


You can also set/unset a file's read only status under the "/Security/"
tab of the document "/Properties/" dialog. From the main menu select the
"/File -> Properties.../" option.

You will find it helpful to read the "Getting Started" and "User" guides
