Password protected Word Documents

2013-08-19 Thread c . grefkens

Dear all,
We are/were using MS Office2003. We are currently changing some
workstations to OpenOffice.
Our integration to OpenOffice is going very well but we are experiencing
some problems.
Word Documents that are password protected can only be read, not changed.
It is possible to save it to an .ODT and then we can work with it but since
Word can't read .ODT files, it's a bit of a problem for us since not all of
of our colleagues are working with OpenOffice.
I have read on the internet that there are many people with the same
problem and for some time also.
WIll there be an update for it???

What version of OpenOffice are you running?  And on what operating system?

What happens when you try to save as a .DOC file?  You say it doesn't
work.  Do you get an error message?

Does the problem also occur with Word files that are not password protected?
