I use locked files as a work-around for stationery because Mac OS hasn’t done that right since the classic OS, i.e. since before OS-X. I don’t remember how locked OpenOffice files could be unlocked (I haven’t used OO recently), but locked (i.e. Read Only) LibreOffice documents have an “Edit Document” button just below the top RH corner that unlocks them. When you try to type into a locked RTF document it opens a small menu panel, maybe OpenOffice did it that way? But if there is no convenient way to unlock a document after you have opened it you can, on the Mac, right-click on the document’s icon, select “Get Info” in the pop-up menu, and untick the “Locked” box, then the document will no longer be locked. I don’t know how to do this on Windows, but I’m sure it must have some equivalent procedure.
