Created attachment 157773 [details] file showing the problem (from Dutch government) Hi, I cannot edit the attached document in LO. Opening it in Word, I can edit the non-protected sections.
Thank you for reporting the bug. I opened the document in Word 2010, and I can confirm that it is editable in certain sections. I, additionally, can confirm that the bug is present in a recent master build on Windows. Using: Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: e8ac78d3afdeb0302eaea34a50f1ca912d5fe897 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 17763; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US Calc: CL This appears to be covered under Bug 120763.

Indeed this document is protected with a password to only be able to fill the forms. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 120499 ***
Bug 120499 is about removing the document protection using a password, while this bug is about being able to fill in the form fields, which should be possible. I'm not sure what it's related to, since the document contains content controls, I'm adding it to that meta. It also never worked, in old version even the document protection isn't imported. Adding a version of the document that has empty password (it is still protected). It was created from the original by: - unzipping it, - removing the tag <w:documentProtection ...> from settings.xml, - rezipping it, - readding document protection in Word that only allows filling in forms.

Which falls under the document protection so cannot be edited. So this is really a duplicate of bug #104823 (or bug 137466 ) where content controls are lost on import. Not importing the password (bug 120499) is indeed a different issue.

With the issue filed under bug 146334 this is layout-wise solved (see bug 137466). Saving as docx is also supported. Several improvements could be made visually and feature-wise still, to be filed as separate bugs.
