How does one change a Writer instance to read-only mode? This mode is
much better suited to reading documents. I have found that one can
set a flag in File -> Properties -> Security to have to document
open in read only the next time it is opened, but I would like to
save a hassle and change directly to read-only mode.
Thanks.

Your suggestion above for works with Windows 7, and LO 3.3.0. to treat
an opened document as read only.
Changing a document (or any file) to read only is an operating system
dependent function.
In Windows,
right click > properties,
click security tab,
uncheck Write in the Allow column
Once this is done, any word processor that can open the document will
open it read only.
I am certain there is an equivalent way to do this on the Mac, and on
the several Linux variants, but it has been 10 years since I worked in a
Linux environment prior to retirement.
