Description bmarcelly 2012-03-18 08:49:44 UTC 
Since OpenOffice.org version 3.3 it is possible to have a password protecting a Calc or Writer document from modifications. Such document can be read, not modified.
See http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.3/#Increased_Document_Protection_in_Writer_and_Calc

The API aspect has been forgotten in the development. The consequence is that such documents cannot be created or modified by program.

It should be possible, by API :
- to create a document and save it with a password for write-protection
- to open a write-protected document, modify it if the password is provided, and save it keeping the write-protection.
