> [XWPF] Read Only ... won't let me write to any file
That seems _almost_ correct. A read only file shouldn't be editable. But if
it's not editable, what's the point of saving it? Would be easier to copy
the file via the filesystem.

To get around the underlying problems
1. Copy the dotx to a docx, then open the docx as read-write. If you open
it with a FIS, close the FIS after you open the package to avoid a memory
leak. If you open it with a file, make sure you don't get a resource-in-use
filesystem error on Windows if saving the file to the same location as the
source. Depending on your business need, you may need to write out to a
temporary location and move files around, and roll back file changes if an
error occurs.
