I have been trying to edit a .docx document in LibreOffice that says that it is write-protected. Nothing I have tried (eg: enable Form Design on View, or Format -> Sections "Editable in Read-only document" seems to work. I get a pop-up that says:
"Write-protected content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted".
Are there ways to remedy this?
Check the permissions. Depending on who owns the file, you may have to change them from a CLI as root.
But I can remove the file, using rm.
However, saving as .doc and then opening that and saving that as .docx works. Not sure what I am losing in the process, though.
Many thanks, Ranjan
