Priority: medium
Bug ID: 58901
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: FILEOPEN write protected questionnaire.doc: contents
of Input fields can not be modified
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: libreoff...@bielefeldundbuss.de
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.3.0 Beta2
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 72334

Sample Document
When Input fields are used, especially if you want to use the document as a
questionnaire, you need a possibility to protect all contents of the document
except the fields against modifications. This is intended for the attached
document.
Expected when I open the sample document with server installation of
"LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 German UI/Locale [Build-ID:
3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit):
a) input field contents can be edited, simply click and type
b) no possibility to modify anything outside the form fields, if I try to
click, caret will go to next editable input (or checkbox) filed
c) write protection (for normal text) kept after document has been saved
This is the behavior I see in WORD.
Actual in LibO 3.5.7.2:
a) is more or less fulfilled, document by default is opened "read only"
b) It's impossible to edit the document:
b1) Click (or double click) field behind "Firmenname und Anschrift", no caret
appears, field can not be edited
b2) 'Right click -> Edit': Password message appears, but that will not help
because password is unknown
b3) Same as in (b2) when you try to make the field editable by click on
'Edit File' in Standard Task Bar
c) Write protection completely away after document has been saved as .doc
or .odt
You will have to save the document (under new name) if you want to edit the
fields, but that will destroy the write protection of the normal text.
My results with other Versions and programs:
--------------------------------------------
1. MSO 2010: Works perfectly and intuitive, write protection kept after
document has been saved with edits
2. OOo 3.1.1: Works fine, but it's a little unintuitive that a small
dialogs opens when I try to edit the Input Fields. Additionally I
can click into protected text, caret will not jump to Input filed.
Write protection kept after document has been saved with edits.
Saved documents now can be edited with LibO in the same way
3. "Lotus Symphony Release 3.0.1 Revision 20120110.2000"
All the same as with OOo 3.1.1
4. OOo 3.4.1: Same result as with LibO, Input fields can not be edited,
but some differences in appearance
- Input Fields are invisible
- Input Fields edit dialog opens when I double click invisible
fields, but they are protected, I can not modify contents
5. LibO 3.3.3, 4.1.0.0: Same as with LibO 3.5.7.2
6. AbiWord: Unusable!
7. FreeOffice (Softmaker): Works nearby perfectly, write protection kept after
document has been saved with edits (but does not show page heading
correctly)
This one might be related to or DUP of
"Bug 46362 - FILEOPEN: Word file with fields cannot be opend anymore (works in
OOo 3.2.1"
I really wonder how we could create such a questionnaire with LibO as .odt, I
do no know a way to od that except with write protected section(s), what would
be rather fiddly.
