Thanks for this update.  Playing with the Save feature further after I
lodged this "bug", I realise now it might be more an "expectation" on my
part.  When I opened the .doc file (and OO correctly requested the
original MS password) I had expected OO to tell me when I saved it
in .odt format that it was no longer being password protected.   

One solution to my expectation problem would be to default the "Save
with Password" checkbox (on Save and Save As forms) to "ticked", or
alternatively to ask via a dialog whether this resaved copy should also
be protected if the original was so protected.  

I note that when saving a new file for the first time, the "Save with
Password" checkbox is a valid option when using "Save" but it grayed out
when using "Save As".  Not sure why this is different.

My real concern here is that others may also mistakenly think the file
is still protected when resaved in .odt (which it is not) if the
original was protected and hence the possible security issue.

What does changing the visibility to "Public" do ?
