 |

Dear All,
I have stumbled across an issue which, by no amount of searching through the forums (I could have been lazy though  ), has a solution.
I have an ODF document which has a set password. Without making another copy of that document, how can I remove the set password.
I have tried checking off the "Save with password" option, and then saving the document. Unfortunately, however, when I reopen the document, the password question is thrown back at me, again. 
Could someone please help.
Many thanks in advance.

Dear All,
The issue of removal of the password seems to be rather incredible in nature. The Open Office help appears to be very clear on this...
| Quote: | Protecting All Documents When Saving
All documents that are saved in OpenDocument format can be saved with a password. Documents that are saved with a password cannot be opened without the password. The content is secured so that it cannot be read with an external editor. This applies to content, graphics and OLE objects.
Turning on protection
Choose File - Save As and mark the Save with password check box. Save the document.
Turning off protection
Open the document, entering the correct password. Choose File - Save As and clear the Save with password check box. |
Unfortunately, the results are rather disappointingly different.

Dear All,
In continuation of the issue at hand, it is rather surprising to note that a lower version of OpenOffice provides consistent results as far as removal of passwords from Writer documents are concerned.
The issue that I had originally reported in this forum was based on the fact that I had been using OpenOffice 3.0 on top of Windows XP.
However, upon using Novell OpenOffice 2.4 on SuSE Linux Desktop edition, I find that this problem does not occur at all.
Has anyone got a clue as to what could be the underlying reason or reasons behind the dissimilar effects.
Many thanks in advance.
