It's still a weird way to describe it. Encryption itself has a key/password. So this means the document has *two* passwords? One for non-encrypted password "protection" (it's as much real protection as ROT26), and other for the encryption? Or it's just Microsoft that are doing a bad job at describing what's going on? > Nuno J.

The only way to get rid of the issue is to step away from MS, but if you could do that you wouldn't be trying to get working OOXML encryption... > Nuno J.

I'd suggest updating the bug report summary to reflect that :-) If you can make an example document, attach it to the report. I guess the only way to create one is using Microsoft Office itself? -- Nuno J.
