[libreoffice-users] Unprotecting table cells
Hi! I've read many questions and answers regarding unprotection of table cells, however none of the replies I have seen worked in my case. When I try to edit a table cell text, I get the famous popup saying Readonly content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted. However, I can edit the content of some of the other cells in the same table. I do have read-write permission on the filesystem level. As mentioned, I can edit some other parts of the document. There is no unprotect option in the cell submenu on the right-click context menu in the cell. It only says No selection possible in greyed out text. Format - Sections is greyed out, so I have no access to any security settings there. The file properties shows that the document has no password protection. Nothing is activated on the Security tab there. One reply mentioned something about Design Mode, but I could not edit the text after activating that either. I'm using Libreoffice 3.4.5 OOO340m1 (Build:502) on Debian Sid Linux. Any ideas? This is often a problem for me when filling out downloadable forms with Libreoffice. Does it have some sort of Make everything editable option? That would have saved me many hours...

I hope my problem is not the same as this: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7t=19668 That one seems to be unsolvable without having access to MS Word: As of this moment the bug still exists in OO 3.1.1 for Windows, I haven't checked my Linux or Mac systems yet. OO Writer honours the protection status of a document but doesn't have any way of changing it. If a document has been locked in MS Word there is no way to unlock it without passing it through a copy of Word. My document was originally a *.doc, probably created in MS Word. When I saved my first modified version, I let Libreoffice save it as an ODT-file.
