I haven't had a chance to go further. I opened the file in Windows with Open Office 3.0, unprotected it and saved it with a new name. I then loaded it in 3.1 under Linux, protected it and saved it and it works. I won't know if I can repeat the condition. ONe strange thing now is that I can open it on my notebook without entering a passsword although it claims to be protected. I even removed the protection and redid it with no effect. I plan to change this file to another spreadsheet or program becauswe I don't want it to be unprotected on the notebook which could be lost and picked up by anyone although they would have to know the Linux password to get in or remove the hard drive and install it somewhere else to get at the file (or hack the random password.) I don't intend to used Open Office Calc for any file that needs to be secure.
Thanks for your concern Bryan.
