Hi Alan -- FWIW the behavior of read-only docs in OOo surprised me, too.
I expected that the actual read-only bit would be set in the document's
meta-data, not that it would merely "show changes" in "protected" mode.
I would submit that tracking changes for collaborative editing purposes
vs. a truly read-only copy are two different animals.
One thing you might consider (and hardly any more foolproof aginst
wilful editing than any read-only doc would be, is to simply Export as
PDF. But perhaps someone has already suggested that; I've not read this
thread religiously.
I hope this makes sense. I also wonder, if the discussion continues, if it
belongs here or on a different list?
Well, you sure "stuck to your guns" on this thread, and you have brought
me around to seeing it the way you do. I would say, move it to the
discuss list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and I'd be happy to
chime in.
