Re: [ilugd] opening ppt files in Open Office

2005-09-09 Thread Amit Mahajan 
I am not 100% sure, but OpenOffice 2.0 Beta is
compatible with Password Protected DOC/XLS/PPT Files.
So, I think it will ask u for the password at least at
the time of opening. 

Version 1.1.4 is obviously not capable of
opening/reading password protected documents.

The last alternative frm ur side can be to use come
kind of cracking software to have the password
cracked. I guess some free cracking softwares would
also exist..

Regards,

Amit

 The other solutions are purchase of many $$$
 software to crack the password
 
 Any ideas what could be done to rectify the
 situation.

AFAIK password protected M$ format files will not open in OO. You have to 
save them without password and then opened in OO
