[Solved] AOO won't open password-protected files

[HowardJ]

I use AOO on PCLinuxOS which has been giving me a few corruption problems lately. One of them is that AOO won't open my password protected spreadsheet accounts, or other similar files. Fortunately they will open in LibreOffice, but I still prefer to use AOO which I've become very familiar with over 24 years. (I started with StarOffice 5).

Any remedy other than reinstalling AOO?

I would try reinstalling OpenOffice.

Thanks, Mr Programmer,

I honestly have no memory of that posting - but I am 86, and find I forget many things these days!

That computer is also very old - 5 or 6 years at least. I think that this crash will give me the incentive to fire up the new one that's waiting on my desk.
