I activated document-protection for a document (Open Office on a Macbook, very recent download), and now I can't deactivate it. Though I should be the user who is allowed to read and write, I can't write on it anymore or rename the file. When looking back on the document information it displays no protection, which I could deactivate. Hum?

It's the first time I use Open Office: Actually I just wanted a password-protection for the file.

How hard can it be?

If you could be a bit more specific about how you activated the protection, that would help. Did you protect the file using something on your Mac book, or inside Open Office? – DaveParillo Nov 26 '09 at 16:07
