Protection of sheets and cells can be removed - however OOo should still require a password to be entered (if it has been set that way in excel).
Opening and editing spreadsheets (after entering a password) is still supported, however if you re-save the files in the excel file format protection will be lost. This is due to MS method of protecting there files. It can easily be broken, but can't be implemented without licenses. OOo security is much better and should be used over MS office format protection... /paul On 10/7/06, James Knott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
