That depends what you want to do. OOo can set a password on a document when you save through File -> Save As. Bear in mind that the encryption is strong, so if you lose the password you lose the data. It is not practical to try to break it with current technology, AIUI. There is only type of encryption possible defined by OOo now. Also, you can sign a document with File -> Digital Signatures, so others can verify the document is yours. You will need a certificate from some authorising agency, like Thawte or CACert. Or you can set a password and sign it. So far as I'm aware, you cannot encrypt the contents of a document according to someone else's public key, so only they can read it; but of course you can encrypt the whole file outside OOo. -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
