Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - allow users to format cells on protected sheets

Hi :)
Ahh, i think it happens the other way too.  That if you "protect" a document in LibreOffice then 
people opening it in MS Office will find the protection gets ignored.  

Personally i find it difficult enough to get people to edit and add their ideas into documents that 
are open and meant to be shared and updated.  I've never had any trouble dissuading people from 
doing something!  

I had a quick look through documentation 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Calc_Guide
but couldn't find anything.  Are you sure you don't want to just share the document and then "track 
changes"?  

Regards from 
Tom :)
