I have a .ods file on my USB drive and want to edit it at home and at work. But all documents I create are "stuck" to the computer I created it on. I have tried to save the file with password for reading and edit, but when I insert "edit password" it says. "File is write protected, want to open as copy?"

  • Can you clarify how MS Office relates to the question? Are you trying to open the LO Calc file in Excel?

  • Try to test it with a different usb drive. Maybe the complete device is write-protected.

Use the Save as... dialog and select a format suitable for the recipient, e.g. .XLS for older Excel versions.
