Oracle OpenOffice.org Writer读取加密doc文档问题 Problem of Oracle OpenOffice.org Writer in Opening Password-Protected .doc File

今天突然发现的这个问题。经测试,在打开无密码保护的doc文档时一切正常,但打开有密码的doc文档时就直接显示为read-only模式。怎么试都是这样的结果。


目前加密的文档无论中英文都只好用WPS打开了。奇怪的是.xls文件全都正常,但我的.xls文件明明是加过密的,为嘛不出毛病呢?

I found the problem today. While opening a .doc file using Oracle OpenOffice.org Writer, it is okay if no password is included in the file, but it shows Read-Only when the file is protected by password. I did a search but still could not find out any resolution to this problem. All password-related posts are for versions prior to the latest update from Oracle. Maybe Oracle is responsible for this problem since it is the owner of OpenOffice.org now.


By the way, the latest OpenOffice.org icons designed by Oracle are really really ugly and undistinguishable. When a folder has differnet types of documents, it is very hard for users to identify which one is doc file and which is excel file. Designers in Oracle can jump from skyscrappers now.


Now, I can only use WPS Writer to open those files. It is strange that .xls files are okay even if they are password-protected.
