Hi Mikhail,

although the provided document handling scenario looks to be a little bit strange for me, opening the document readonly as Mathias has already suggested would be the solution. In your case the documents are opened from the file explorer. So you need probably a possibility to let office open every file readonly by default.

Could you provide us with a user scenario using a possible solution "opening all 
documents readonly by default"?

case A) a single user handling an existing document file; when the file gets 
locked and when unlocked?
case B) two users sharing one document file in a file server and one user 
editing it
case C) multiple users sharing one document file in a file server and some 
users unexpectedly editing it simultaneously
case D) File - Save As, previous one unlocked and new one locked, become 
readonly?
case E) Starting with an empty file (couldn't be readonly) and File - Save, 
become readonly, locked?

I have been trying to imagine that, and found it is hard for me.

In other words, there should be a possibility to configure office in the way, that it opens the documents readonly always. If user wants to edit the opened document, he has to switch the document to edit mode explicitly. The feature would be a consistent part of the current design, so please submit a new feature request to me ( m...@openoffice.org ) for this.

PS: Please try to avoid writing words with capital letters without necessity,

Thank you for the suggestion. I will keep it in mind.

Best Regards,
Tora
