Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 402
Can not open password protected spreadsheet
Last modified: 2004-08-27 17:31:55 UTC
Even if I possess the password for an Excel spreadsheet, OpenOffice will not allow me to open the file - it states it is password protected but does not open the file. As the person who reported this to me said "That's not very Microsoft compatible..."
Password protected files from Excel are crypted, so OpenOffice Calc can't open them without knowing the algorythm (and thats a secret by MS) => not fixable
Closed because not fixable

I think excel encryption is similiar to word encryption, see issue 5362
