Re: [libreoffice-users] document protection not working

Oops. I was setting the protection for "change recording state."
Password protecting the document is on the "save as" dialogue. Seems to
be working now. Must have gotten unset somehow, though that presumably
would have required my using 'save as' to save the document and
unchecking the password box. 

Whatever.

Thanks.
