Calc. Version 4.4.5.2 Read-only document. A yellow info bar shows up telling me “This document is open in read-only mode.” I know. How do I get rid of this unnecessary, useless thing. I don’t want to edit the doc. The close X is disabled. I never want to see this. ?

Try to “Save As” to a different filename. Then open the new file and see if the problem is gone.

I think the OP is opening a read only document that he knows is read only. He just is tired of seeing the notification that it’s read only.

Oh. Well, that’s an entirely different problem. LOL.
