Windows users (Win 200 and above) can display them with the free PowerPoint Viewer 2007. But users of other OS (Linux, Mac) cannot read these PowerPoint files. This is a real lack of compatibility for OpenOffice.org in the non- Microsoft world.

So I bumped up the target from OOo Later since this issue is becoming more important to users as according to one of the comments they can't even open documents that are protected from modification. I have no idea how to fix the bug myself, sorry.

Would it be possible to ask the user if it is ok to open the file in read-only mode if the password is not provided? In MS-Office, it is possible to open the file in read-only if the password is not known. This should not require RC4 and should be easier to implement; no? This problem is becoming more and more annoying since more and more files like that are becoming popular. Thanks !!!

In case I have fumbled my words: If RC5 password protection is enabled, but no password is specified, MS Powerpoint considers the files to no be protected and opens them with full read/write permissions, but OOo cannot open the file at all. If the file is opened in MS Pp and the properties edited to remove the RC5 setting (uncheck a box), then OOo can open the file as normal.
