I think you'll find the situation is that any document that has been given a password by an MS program will require the password on being opened by any program, MS or OOo or any other. What OOo does not do is retain the protection when writing in any format other than ODF. In particular it is the re-write of a password protected excel file by OOo in .xls format that will remove the protection. Saving as .ods will give the option of resetting protection. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
