I tried this with LibreOffice 3.4.0rc2 (x86 on Windows Vista SP1 in VM hosted on Windows 7).
Two things: 1. It doesn't work. There is a new button on the File | Properties ... | General tab to the right of the file name that says "Change Password ..." but it is always greyed out. This could be because you have to unencrypt a file to open it ? It is only the saved file that is encrypted. 2. The HelpPack for 3.4.0rc2 on Windows does not reflect the fact that there is this new button. [Related observations: You can open an encrypted file, modify it so that Save can be clicked, and it will save atop the encrypted file without warning. Also, when File | Properties comes up as part of a Save As (but not Save, interesting) because it is enabled by Option, the filename is highlighted as if it is editable, but it is not. As far as I know, there is no occasion where the filename in the Properties | General dialog would be changeable.] - Dennis PS: The "Protection" Password on the Security tab is described as for locking the read-only setting and is not related to encryption of the file. It can also be set from the additional actions on the encryption-password dialog though. -----Original Message----- From: libreoffice-bounces+dennis.hamilton=acm....@lists.freedesktop.org [mailto:libreoffice-bounces+dennis.hamilton=acm....@lists.freedesktop.org] On Behalf Of Cor Nouws Sent: Monday, May 30, 2011 12:25 To: Marc Paré Cc: libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org Subject: Re: [Libreoffice] Encrypted password -- change?
