I emailed it to you directly. Let me know if it came through. According to Excel there was no password on it. I have noticed lately that with Excel (I think this started after a patch was pushed out by Microsoft and it affects versions of Excel as far back as 2016) that by default all documents are set to "editing disabled" Excel puts a button on the top you can click that enables editing and once you click that you can do a save-as on a document and make changes.
It's not just setting the read-only flag on the file and I think there are other rules involved such as Excel looking at the "owner" name of the document (where Excel gets that name from I am not sure) and if the person opening the document has a different "owner name" then it makes the document editing disabled. Obviously, Libre Office doesn't know exactly how to deal with this structure in the Excel file and so it's claiming it's password-protected when in reality the document is NOT password protected. I would encourage you to file a bug on this. Since the spreadsheet is publicly accessible and you can duplicate the bug with LO, it should be easy enough for the LO developers to duplicate Ted -----Original Message----- From: PLUG <plug-boun...@lists.pdxlinux.org> On Behalf Of Ted Mittelstaedt Sent: Saturday, May 4, 2024 9:45 AM To: 'Portland Linux/Unix Group' <plug@lists.pdxlinux.org> Subject: Re: [PLUG] Password protected .xlsx; cannot save as .ods Hmm looks like the list does not permit attachments?
