Well, it's far from elegant -- but you could copy the file to another
directory, make your changes, and copy back (losing the lock protection,
though, unless the working location is shared by everybody who edits the
file). Hope somebody comes up with a better solution, though!

I'd appreciate if someone could assist me in figuring out what changed
and why, and how I can accomplish the goal of being able to edit a
document that resides in a directory where I only have read privs, but I
have write privs to the file itself.

I don't know when this behavior changed, but I *know* that in versions
previous to 3.1.1, users were able to edit documents like this, but now,
in 3.1.1 cannot, because Openoffice wants to create the temporary file
in the working directory just like Microsoft office does.
In my opinion, OOo should NOT create the temp file in the working
directory (same directory as the original document), but instead should
use the users local Temp directory - or, at a minimum, it should *fall
back* to the users local Temp directory in the event that it is unable
to create it in the working directory.
Can anyone confirm this?
