Re: [libreoffice-users] the password of Libreoffice

Hi :
It's ok.  It's nice to hear ideas to try.  Even a wrong answer might help someone else or "by 
bouncing ideas off each other" we might arrive at the best answers.  

I was fairly sure your method would work but hadn't got around to trying it out so thanks for doing 
that and getting back to the list with the results.  I think Alex had already said that method 
wouldn't work but i "never believe anything until it's been denied by a government minister" (i am 
not sure where that quote is from)
Regards from 
Tom :)

Disregard my last message.  You can open the .odt file in 7-zip, or 
Gnome Archive Manager, or whatever...unfortunately, the content.xml is 
scrambled after password protection.  My apologies for the misdirection.
