Description arya766 2014-11-17 18:02:54 UTC
Hello and thanks,
I have 3 problems: two with password encrypted spreadsheet files, one withhe using English and Persian in one file, as follows:
1. I have  an excel 2007 file, which I've encrypted with one password for viewing and editing. LibreOffice Calc opens with the password, but won't let me edit, and although I've hit many keys, when I want to close, doesn't ask for saving, which of course means it has opened as a read-only file. I think it is because Calc accepts one password only.

2. Now, I have another xlsx file, with the same password for viewing and opening, but with different name and contents from the former. When I want to open this latter while the former is open, it asks for password, but won't let me type my password in the box!

I have saved these two files as .ods too, yet the same problem exists without any change.

3. Another problem is that when I type in Persian, I cannot see upper part of the characters (this exists in the Writer too, and in the worst form ever possible, which I'll report right after this one), and worse than that, when I open an excel file (*.xlsx), the sheets of which have a right-to-left order, and I add another sheet, no matter what I do, this last one will have a left-to-right order!
These bugs are making me use Microsoft Office yet, and I don't want to; it's an agony to do your work partially: some parts on another system with MsOffice, and some on my own Kubuntu.
Thanks again for bearing with me to the end of this endless report! :-)

Hello and sorry for late answer. I, unfortunately, have deleted the files, but I know what exactly I'd done immediately before the issue showed up, so, I'll make two again as soon as I can, and let you know.

Thanks again
