How can change the files in BBRY Blend to read/write instead of read only?

When I open a file from my Passport on my computer I get it in a read only format. I want to be able to read and write documents and files from my phone on my computer without having to transfer them if possible. I tried to do this in the document program itself using the edit feature but it said something about not having the licenses, but if I save it to the computer first then I can do whatever I want to with it. It seems to be limited to OpenOffice/BlackBerry/odt. files as far as I can tell. I don't want to install word on my computer if I don't have to because I really like OpenOffice but I'm wondering if that's the only way around it. Thanks in advance for any help it's much appreciated :D
