I am questioning the security of the password system on openoffice.org.

I saved a spreadsheet with a simple password.  I then looked at  it with 
midnight commander in the ascii and hex modes.  it showed a directory of 
about 10 files.  I was unable to see the individual files, but I am concerned 
how much I can rely on this security.

I the password actually an encryption key?  If so what encryption algorythym 
is being used.   If the password is just a password, then I assume that a hex 
viewer and a unzip utility could view the files.

I use an encrypted partition for all of my data files, but my concern is when 
I back up to cd/dvd/dvd-ram.

thoughts?
