I have protected MS Word (*.doc) document (but changes are allowed and track changes is On) and if I can open it in LibreOffice Writer the document is open in read only mode and I am not able to change it. See the attached file.
There is nothing attached. Please attach the file.

The problem is still in LibreOffice 3.3.2, 3.3.3, 3.4.0, 3.4.1, 3.4.2 RC1. There is no possibility to edit the .doc document where the protection (described in the first comment of this bug) is activated. MS Word 2003 is working good. Thank you for your interest
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
reproducible in LibO 3.5.0 beta 1 on Fedora 64 bit Steps to reproduce: 0. Open file from attachment in Writer 1. Press button "Edit file" in main toolbar 2. enter password 1111 there 3. edit document 4. save 5. File->Reload 6. do steps 1,2,3 Expected: document modifies Actually: dialog appears that tells that read-only file can not be modified.
Modified Version due to Comment 3 and own tests I believe the problem is more simple. Steps to reproduce with "LibreOffice Portable 3.3.0 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4]" : 1. Open attached sample 2. Menu 'File -> Save as' 3. Modify File name to "Track_changes2.doc 4. Click 'Save with Password', <Save> > Set password dialog appears 5. Click 'More options', -> 'Open file read-only' 6. Enter and confirm file sharing password "123456", <ok> 7. Save as current document format .doc 8. close -> reopen via recent documents > As expected: read-only 9. Click in Task bar icon "Edit File", insert password, ok > As expected: additional edit task bar appear 10. Click behind end of first line in document, try to type something expected: typed text appears actual: Message "Readonly Content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted" A new test showed that it's even more simple: 0. Open New writer document 1. Type "qwertz" and save as sample0.odt 2. Menu 'File -> Save as -> sample1.doc (Word97)' 3. Click 'Save with Password', <Save> > Set password dialog appears 4. Click 'More options', -> 'Open file read-only' 5. Enter and confirm file sharing password "123456", <ok> 6. Save as current document format .doc 7. close -> reopen via recent documents > As expected: read-only 8. Click in Task bar icon "Edit File", insert password, ok > As expected: additional edit task bar appear 9. Click behind end of first line in document, try to type something expected: typed text appears actual: Message "Readonly Content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted" That worked fine with OOo 3.3, but broken starting with first LibO Version No problem when I save document as .odt and then redo tests starting with 1 This one might be related to /Dup of "43890 - Cannot edit .doc saved from a .docx that had a password protection for editing" "Bug 43229 - Unable to un-protect password protected MS-Word .doc document" MAJOR because the problem seems to cause dataloss @all: do you agree with my simplified bug description? It would be interesting to know whether MSWORD will bi able to edit document. @Michael: Please set Status to ASSIGNED and add yourself to "Assigned To" if you accept this Bug

Thomas: for the additional issue, please do file a separate bug since one bug per issue.
Although, I'm not sure. Had to read through entire bug before finding out PW is "1111". Once I enter the password I'm able to edit the test document. So I think this is WORKSFORME. Please re-open if I missed something or the problem is persisting for your with the latest nightly.
It works ok for me, too. Win 7. Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 6e91763769a562b88882a4c2a94b1367c6ed4866 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-12-11_00:35:18
