Thank you for your response. So does that mean that to keep password protected files I would need to "Save as" in Microsoft? Doing this creates a duplicate Open Office file which I do not want. I would be grateful if you could confirm whether changing the files to Open Office will not allow me to open the files in Microsoft later on.
