Title:
.doc form cannot be filled in in Writer
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am given a form (details at end), last edited in 2008 so presumably
using Office 2007 or earlier. This form is password-protected against
modification of anything but the fields one is meant to type data
into. Filling in the form works in Office 2010.
With LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) on Ubuntu precise, I
cannot fill in any of the fields. Writer says (in the title bar) that
the document is read-only. If I View->Toolbars->Form Design and
View->Toolbars->Form Navigation I see that almost all the controls are
grayed out; the only two exceptions are Open in Design Mode and
Automatic Control Focus, however pressing these doesn't result in any
noticeable state change. If I press the "Edit File" button in the
Standard toolbar, I get prompted for the document's password (which I
don't know).
This isn't really a new problem. OpenOffice 3.2 in Ubuntu lucid lets
me type a few characters into the first form field, then exactly two
characters into the second field before telling me that the form
cannot be filled. I'm guessing that the main underlying issue is the
same but that another bug (which made OpenOffice 3.2 accept the first
few characters of form input) has been fixed.
I'm not sure I am at liberty to attach a copy of the .doc file to this
report since I don't hold the copyright to it. It can be downloaded
from http://formhotel.accessia.se/su/Default.aspx; search for 9031
(other forms on that site may also be affected, I haven't checked) and
choose the Word version.
