I just downloaded version 3.0 From the User's Manual, Itried:

Password protection

To protect an entire document from being viewable without a password, use the option on the Save As dialog to enter a password. This option is only available for files saved in OpenDocument formats or the older OpenOffice.org 1.x formats.

1. On the Save As dialog, select the checkbox beside Save with password, and then click Save. You will receive a prompt.

However, there is no checkbox for "Save with password".

I, unfortunately, check the box to erase version 2.x, so I can't easily do it from there.

I have OOo 3.0 on Windows XP and I do see the Save with password checkbox at the bottom center of the Save As dialog box. Even if I select a non-odf format the option turns gray but is still visible.

This is a Vista related issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=97114. See this for some help http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... &sk=t&sd=a.

Problem solved by last post. Thanks.
