Re: Quick Question

This won't solve your immediate problem, but how about  getting a 
password manager -- like KeyPass -- and creating an entry there (Keypass 
can even generate the password if you like) before you assign a password 
to the file.

Hi!

I have been trying for over five years to access a file I created and put a

I can no longer remember the password I used to lock the file, so I cannot

what is in it again? It would mean the world to me. It's an important
document to me that I would hate to completely lose.

Thanks in advance!

Put any character (like a space) in the next cell to the right.

Hello,

I have looked all over for the answer to this question and cannot find

Is there a way to prevent text from spilling/overflowing over into the 
next cell without wrapping it??



I would like the text to be cut off by default (shown in row 29), 
without having to re-size the row every single time (like i would have 
to with row 26).


Is this possible?




Thank you!

RE: Quick Question

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

To expand on Rory's answer,

If your password was short and memorable (even though you have forgotten it), 
there are utilities that will try better-than-brute-force solutions at opening 
password-protected OpenDocument Format documents such as those produced by 
Apache OpenOffice.  

We do not provide such a utility.  Some of them provide simple attacks for 
free, may not provide a solution in reasonable time and have to be stopped, and 
have premium versions that make better attacks and can still fail.

However, since you probably did not employ a cryptographically-safe password, 
such a utility may succeed.

The Apache OpenOffice project does not recommend any such utility.  You should 
take precautions installing such a tool and use it at your own risk.

Re: Quick Question

Yep, that would be a problem. I was thinking that if it were protected from 
editing, copy-paste would be a workaround. 
But if the doc is protected from opening at all, that won’t work.

You can’t. 

But you should be able to copy the contents (Edit->Select all; Edit->copy) and 
paste the contents into a new text document. 
Note: I haven’t tested this, but I don’t believe protection extends to the 
copy.

There is effectively no way to break an OpenOffice password except by using 
brute force, which may (depending on computer speed) tie up your computer for 
days or longer.

Re: Quick question

[Jean Lear]

Hello,
I do not know if this will be the help needed.  I do a lot of work with
Calc and in some columns some of the cells contain text that will
overflow.  I go to the top of the column and highlight the whole column
keep the highlighting on.  Then to to Format > Cells > Alignment > tick in
Wrap Text Automatically > Click OK.
Now anything entered in cells in that column will wrap if the contents are
more than the column width and the row height will adjust automatically.
If there is a cell with contents that are only one line that row height
will not be altered..

Oops. That should be "the column to the right of the cell in row 29."

The simplest solution is to make the cell in row 30 contain a blank
space, with no other glyphs in it.

I don't think that will work.  Maybe you mean the cell in the column to 
the right of the spilling text cell.  That would truncate it if wrap is 
turned off for the spilling cell.  Actually, any data in the next cell 
to the right should truncate the spill.  However, it will truncate at 
wherever the cell limit is, not between words as in the example, or even 
between characters.  That means that a partial word or character may be 
seen.
