[expert] [OT] Open/StarOffice and MS-office
http://www.hos.horizon.ie/staroffice/techfaq.html#1q21 22. Q. Why can I not import password protected MS Office files? A. Microsoft does not specify how they protect their files, so we cannot simply import them as password-protected files in StarOffice 6.0 software. Microsoft does not encrypt their protected files. In the past, we simply imported those documents as unprotected files. Naturally, this represents a security violation and most enterprises were not happy about that. As a result, we blocked the import capability for password-protected files and they can no longer be imported at all. Does anyone know if this is true? Doe it go for the newer version of office?

Then, in OO at least, it should be possible to disable this disabled import (re-enable unprotected import of pword m$ docs). --- Guy Van Sanden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.hos.horizon.ie/staroffice/techfaq.html#1q21 22.

As distributed in binary form this is true and I have tried it and confirmed. I would guess since OO.o is open source, that the code to be able to do this has been left in the sources but is just disabled, a la freetype2. If you (or somebody knew what they were doing, I would bet money that it could be re-enabled. -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
