------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 15 12:04:34 -0700 2005 ------- I have OpenOffice v109 and work on an NT box with MS Office 97. I was testing how OpenOffice handled Microsofts password encrypted files when I found a potential bug. OpenOffice respected the passwords that do not allow users to open particular documents, however if the document was only given a password (when being created in MS Office) to prevent editing, OpenOffice could open the document, edit it, and save it with name without having to type in the password. This is a serious security concern, in this case it would be better that it couldn't open the document at all. This issue is present in both Writer and Calc and I haven't tested out impress as of yet. Before I can roll this out to my company I really need to know how to alleviate this problem.
