Re: [libreoffice-users] How to unprotect readonly parts of a document?

       Probably the simplest method is to right-click on the document -
prior to opening it -
          when a block appears, choose 'properties' -->
            click to dis-allow 'read-only' -->
                the document should then be able to be edited.
