Thanks for the reply - thought the format could be a problem, I suppose one could export to PDF and then clear the original sheet - I am not sure though how easy the PDF format could be edited. I notice also that whereas Star Office had a PDF reader open office does not seem to have one. I believe it is one of the problems that will have to be solved if we are to become paperless.

Hi Jeremy,

Good thought.  :)

After reading the above, and thinking about it for a bit, I'm wondering what kind of direction would have to be taken for making something locked and un-changeable.

The OpenDocument file format is in end-user editable XML, so it might not be so easy. Potentially something involving the use of digital certificates may be involved, but even then I'm not coming up with anything that can't be worked around in one way or another.

Maybe it's just a matter of making it "not possible through OOo2" rather than just "not possible at all"?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
