This should probably be reported to upstream openoffice.org as an
wishlist "bug", (it's not an Debian bug, AFAIK it works the same way in
the Windows version also).

Here is an work around:

<copy-paste>
If you press the "Edit File" button in the toolbar while a read-only file
is open, you'll get an untitled copy of the file to work with. When you
try to save the document you will be prompted for a new file name.
