Unlock a read-only file

Hello,

I need a bit of help. I'm trying to set up the pay slips for my nanny. There is a file that does all the calculations automatically (very handy), it's an Excel file. However, when I try to enter my data for the calculations, it says "document opened in read-only mode." (I have OpenOffice 2.0)
Is it possible to unlock the document and if so, how? Do I need another software?
Thank you in advance.

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.5.7

    To unlock a file, right-click on it (so your Excel document here).
    The file properties will appear, and at the bottom, it’s marked "Attributes" and next to it, you’ll see "Read-only." Uncheck it, then click "Apply" and "OK." After that, it should no longer be read-only.
    I hope this helps you! =)
