Re: [libreoffice-users] Saving protected spreadsheets in different format

[Tom Davies <tomdavies04@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi :)
My colleagues were quite shocked that i could open supposedly 'password protected' Xls(X) files so easily.  I honestly didn't even realise they were protected at all.  The older versions weren't, so i don't know why they started blocking people from being able to get on with work.  
Regards from
Tom :)

It is ok as if you think about in a logical way as it is the logical
event in the sequence of steps that LO takes when exporting the file. It
does sound weird though and could lead to trouble if you somehow
overwrite the old password when changing it during the export process. 
Interesting
