Depends on where you open it. If I double-click an email attachment to
open it, I can't make any changes at all (not even column width). Once
I save it to my hard drive, it becomes unprotected.
I think what the OP is referring to is that in Excel you can do whatever
you want to a protected spreadsheet -- you just can't save the changes.
Thus, you can do a lot of "what if" analysis but can't mess up someone
else's work.

Hi :)
I think if you open an Excel spreadsheet that is supposedly "protected" in Calc
then you bypass all the password protections and stuff.
My company's (well the place where i work, it's not really mine as such)
finance lady was somewhat horrified when i was easily able to fix a problem for
her despite having no idea what the password was. I hadn't even realised the
spreadsheet was supposedly protected!

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Calc - allow users to format cells on protected
sheets
Hello,
Microsoft Excel has the ability to allow users to apply formatting
changes to protected cells when a sheet is protected.
Is there any possible way to do this in Calc?
Thanks
