[libreoffice-users] Re: Document protection

Sorry for the late reply, anne-ology, I haven't been able to get back to 
this.

This is an internal use document only, so once it is finished, there 
will be no need to change the document, unless some needed modification 
is discovered later.

The fill in fields will be populated with information that changes with 
each ticket in our work order system.  I'm trying to prevent the form 
from becoming mangled unintentionally.

So what I need, as I said in the original post, is a document that will 
be "locked", but you can still complete the fields.  When that is 
accomplished, the file will be marked read only so when it's saved with 
new information, a new filename will be required.
