Comment 5 for bug 162057

I cannot say emphatically enough how upsetting it is to have to intermittently exit openoffice, and revert to "Word," in order that I can create a word-97 encrypted doc file that I am required to create!!! I gather a decision was made to allow decryption, but not encryption of word-97 files, because the encryption algorithm is weak. That misses the point that people who are compelled to use this silly format are therefore forced to revert to Word. The "save with password box" is still greyed out under FC11 pre-release / OO 3.1.0!!!

Suggestions of using alternative encryption techniques completely miss the point. If I could dictate the format and encryption type, in the first place, I wouldn't be using dot doc at all!

Somebody please raise the priority on this.
