------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Nov 11 14:52:01 +0000 2010 ------- Running Windows XP SP 3 I created a Calc spreadsheet in OOo version 3.2.1 Build 9502 and password protected it using Tools>Protect document>Sheet then entering my password. I then used Edit>Save as and selected Microsoft Excel 97/2000(xls) to save the file in .xls format. I then opened the file using MS Excel 2003 (11.8328.8329) SP3. The cells I had previously locked by password protection had remained locked. Cells that I had not marked as locked could be edited as usual. By using Tools>Protection>Unprotect sheet I was able to unlock all cells for editing including those that had previously been locked. I was not asked for a password and did not need to supply one. This appears to me to be a serious security issue when exporting files to others. Is there any movement in solving it please? I note the similarity to issue 72862 which has been marked as a duplicate --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
