OpenOffice will not read password protected word documents at all. Do give it a try for your general office needs, though, it feels a lot less bloated in recent versions, like the one included in Fedora Core 1 or Mandrake 10. AbiWord will open some types of password-protected Word docs... but it will prompt for the password. It needs this to decrypt. I believe John Beimler has experience with this; if he doesn't see this thread, you may want to ask him on IRC (nick jbeimler). --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
