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

Hi :)
@ Alan.  Normally a greyed area like that indicates it is a Table of Contents or index or 
something.  Uusually the right-click menu gives more options such as "update ToC".  I'm not sure 
what has gone wrong with this one.  Hopefully others  ... 


@ Anne
Try 
Tools - Options - Internet - "Browser Plugin"
and UNtick the box to prevent ODF documents from opening up in your web-browser.  Quite a few 
people get the plugin for Firefox or whatever, thinking it would be great and then regret it

Regards from
Tom :)
