Created attachment 129394 [details] Partly password protected questionnaire Attached DOC file is a questionnaire to be filled. Most of the document is protected against modification except the parts to be filled. In Writer it's impossible to fill the editable areas because it thinks the whole document is protected and asks for the password.
Created attachment 129395 [details] Screenshot of the document in LO 5.1.4 and Word 2013 side by side
Also the table cells are slightly taller, which - along with a few page breaks - makes the document 36 pages long compared to 28 in Word. I'll open another bug for this problem.
thanks for filing Gabor. Confirm the problem in master and in 3.3.0.4..

Can we either get the password, or a copy of the document without the password?
FLGEHPXKRWCGQE worked for me as a password in MSO. Interestingly, LO opens DOC seeing it's protected but it doesn't accept correct password. Guess it doesn't differentiate between Restrict Editing and Read-Only. Lo opens DOCX without noticing it's protected.

Created attachment 145779 [details] 104494 Bizt_kerdoiv protected pass 12345.doc: made by Word 2016 (In reply to Timur from comment #7) That document was corrupted, so I'm uploading one that I roundtripped from the DOCX version (and changed the password to 5 characters since that is the minimum for native LO documents). Note that I am still NOT able to unlock with one in LO with the password 12345, but it unlocks OK in Word. (Interesting that we enforce a password unlock when we don't accept the correct password...)

This issue is different than I first thought. I assumed that the document was "forms protected". However, it is marked as "read-only", but with various selected parts flagged as editable. I don't think Writer has any such concept. The closest would be a protected section, but this is selected parts of a paragraph that are editable and so cannot nicely be mapped to a separate section. I doubt anyone will spend time trying to solve a .doc feature request of this magnitude. The alternative is to design a proper fillable form document.
For the record, attachment 145953 [details] is a sample DOCX with the same feature.
