When I attach any office document to email (file>Insert) it arrives as read
only. I can't figure it out.... any help would be appreciated.

If the recipient is trying to read the document by opening it from the preview pane, it will always be read only. If the recipient opens the message and then opens the attachment, it will be read/write.
