Hi! 

I want to appoint to a situation can bring problems. Let's say you have a
password protected sheet. It is trivial for an user to bypass this protection
by simply saving the file as .xls (MS Excel formats in general).

The question is that CALC should exige the user to provide the password for
this sheet OR NOT LETTING HIM TO SAVE THE FILE AS EXCEL FORMATS at all (or at
least, let the creator of the file the option to exige this) . 

Related to, as a protected sheet is accesible by macros, you should be able to
avoid, at a file level, the CREATION OF NEW MACROS for this file, so the
'malicious' user can not read the protected sheet by this way.

Awesome job anyway, I think you are getting to the point of making LO able to
susbstitute MSOffice! 

Kind regards.
