H there, for Win XP you can use the current version of Apache OpenOffice (3.4.1) and I can't think of anything that could disturb Microsoft Works when you are installing OpenOffice. Just go ahead!

It would be good if such a solution renamed the profile rather than deleting it. As the profile contains all User customisation, it would be bad to zap that beyond recovery.

RE: Readonly on Password-protected Documents (was: NewWikiMainPage)
On the Save As ... dialog and Save with Password option, the Set Password dialog has a More Options button which is not expanded by default. Under the More options is a setting for specifying that the document should be opened read-only with a password (separate from the encryption password) that is used to allow editing. It could be that the option has been set at some point and is being propagated invisibly because of the way the Set Password dialog works. Also, note that the File | Properties dialog has a Security tab and that has a check-box for Open File read-only and for Record changes (which I believe is to prevent recording of changes being turned off). I observed, in LibreOffice not OpenOffice, some sticking of the read-only option even when it had been cleared. This was in some testing I had been doing around use of protections (the read-only case) as well as encryption. In my case, it sometimes took several tries at clearing the read-only flag with Save As ... to new file copies before the document became editable. There were also problems with the a Save As ... of an opened encrypted document being silently encrypted with the same password. I may have filed a LibreOffice bug but I don't have a record of that. It may well be that whatever the defect is, it was in the OpenOffice.org ooo-dev 3.4 and the contributed code base but not in the OpenOffice.org 3.3.0. I never checked that far back. - Dennis PS: The inclusion of a protection feature in this obscure place as part of a document privacy feature is also objectionable, but that's a different matter. The labeling of File sharing options as a Security rather than a Protection provision on the File | Properties dialog is also objectionable.

When the document is loaded, look for the edit file icon on the toolbar. If you click that it will prompt you for the password and then switch into edit mode.

Below is a follow-up question regarding the response I received from Rob Weir. I still cannot password protect a document without it becoming read only even after carefully following the steps outlined in the help menu. Thanks for your assistance. Phil Sargent - Original Message - From: Phil Sargent To: Rob Weir Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 6:27 AM Subject: Re: NewWikiMainPage Rob, Thanks for the quick response. I tried the process in paragraph 1 below and could still not edit the doc. When I hit the edit icon on the read only the document there was a border around it, no password was requested and I couldn't make changes. Can you give me instruction on where and how to save the document with a file encryption password. I have been doing it through the Save As control and then Save with Password which causes it to become read only. I have also tried it through the Security tool bar and not checked read only, but once I attach a password it becomes read only even if the box is not checked. I checked the help menu and saved as instructed below in that and it became read only. Also I could not remove the password by unclicking the box. Protecting All Documents When Saving All documents that are saved in OpenDocument format can be saved with a password. Documents that are saved with a password cannot be opened without the password. The content is secured so that it cannot be read with an external editor. This applies to content, graphics and OLE objects. Turning on protection Choose File - Save As and mark the Save with password check box. Save the document. Turning off protection Open the document, entering the correct password. Choose File - Save As and clear the Save with password check box. I never had this problem before I went to the recent upgrade of 3.3.

Hello, has anyone of you read the main page in the last year-and-a-half? NEWS tells us about things that (possibly) happened in autumn 2010. The link to the 'old wiki main page' looks like a joke to me: the current main page really seems old enough ... Maybe there is a new wiki I did not find - if that is so, you better switch this one off. If you feel that I'm completely wrong, please let me know. Yours H. Kürbiß, Germany

Re: NewWikiMainPage
Agreed. Given that we have just achieved a significant milestone, we should take a few moments to perform some housekeeping. We should encourage all disciplines to review their wiki content and archive where appropriate. The cleaner the wikis, the clearer our mission and tasks at hand. Such clarity will reduce the barriers to entry and make it easier for new and existing contributors to reach in, understand our mission and contribute.
