Hello,
I have an issue when I open up xls files in OO Calc. The protection that I put in place in Excel is no longer there. Also, when I try to add protection to a xls document, it does not work.
I also tried creating a calc file in the normal format (ods, I think) and again, the protection does nothing. I have setup a password on it when I choose protection. But nothing changes, and I can make all of the document changes I want.
I am running OO 2.3 on Vista.
Thanks.
Protection
Re: Protection
I don't have an answer for the Ecel document not retaining it's protection when opened in Calc, but... regarding Calc and the way protection works there...
