Saving protected spreadsheets in different format

Hi,

is it a bug or not?

1. I open an xls file with a sheet with cells protected by a password
2. I save it in odf format - no messages, works without problems
3. I open the new odf file and want to save it in xls. LO requires
change of the password (without asking for the original one)

Is it OK that LO asks for the password change when saving from odf to
xls but not when saving from odf to xls?
What do you think?

(according to the help it is ok that LO can change the password, I am
asking only about the different behavior in  similar situations)

Thanks
Milos

Re: Saving protected spreadsheets in different format

It is ok as if you think about in a logical way as it is the logical
event in the sequence of steps that LO takes when exporting the file. It
does sound weird though and could lead to trouble if you somehow
overwrite the old password when changing it during the export process.
Interesting

Re: Saving protected spreadsheets in different format

Hi :)
My colleagues were quite shocked that i could open supposedly 'password protected' Xls(X) files so easily.  I honestly didn't even realise they were protected at all.  The older versions weren't, so i don't know why they started blocking people from being able to get on with work. 
Regards from
Tom :)
