Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unprotecting table cells

Hi :)
Brilliant, nicely done :)

It would be nice to have protect/unprotect and password protection working in MS formats the way 
that it is meant to in MS Office.  Perhaps time to post a feature request?

Don't worry if you don't have time or if "e-letter"'s type of attitude puts you off.

Tom :)

Hi, me!

Abiword was able to edit the "read-only" parts of the document, so I'm happy now :-)

I still welcome suggestions here on how to achieve this in Libreoffice Writer.
