Hello,
I would like to suggest an idea. My idea is to make it so one can
password protect selected text within a document while leaving the rest
viewable without a password (maybe give the option to use the same
password for each selection, or different passwords, depending on
preference).
Anyway, one would highlight the text, and just select the password
protect option, and add a password (much like one would highlight text
and make it bold). This would be extremely useful to me as a
journal-writer, since most of the stuff I write is fine for the public,
but there are things here and there I'd rather keep to myself, or
selected individuals. It would be nice if it just showed some trademark
symbols where the password protected text was (without showing the
length or anything).
If the password wasn't entered correctly, if there was only one
password, perhaps it would prompt for it at startup, but still load the
file (not the password protected text, though).
Anyway, it would be nice if it didn't prompt for a password when
multiple passwords were involved (the user could customize all this
functionality in the program preferences).
OpenOffice would be much greater to me (and I might actually use it
regularly) if this feature came to be. As it is, I generally only use
word processors when I have to (but I use OpenOffice or AbiWord when I
do, depending on how serious it is--I use OpenOffice for larger stuff).
I use text editors the rest of the time (like Scite and Notetab Light,
while using tinySpell). I do enjoy spreadsheets, though.
Anyway, thanks for letting me post a suggestion!

Hi Mark, take a look at sections, sections are created with that in mind,
to hide, or password protect parts of text from the document. Regards.
