Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 1611
Can't open xls file.
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:55:29 UTC
See attachment. This file can be open with Excel 97. No password setting. When this file is open by OO, an error is reported, saying that the file is password protected.
Created attachment 493 [details] xls file that causes the problem
The attached document has a sheet protection => the document is crypted and can't be read by OpenOffice without knowing the algorythm (and this is a secret by MS) *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 402 ***
