<p class="Paragraph"><help:to-be-embedded Eid="dokumenttext" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><help:help-text value="visible">Protects your entire document from modifications. It is impossible to insert, delete, rename, move or copy sheets.</help:help-text></help:to-be-embedded> Via the menu <span class="T1">Tools - Protect Document - Document</span> open the <span class="T1">Protect document</span> dialog. Specify here the necessary settings, with or without password, in order to protect the document.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">The structure of protected spreadsheet documents can be changed only if the Protect option is disabled. On the context menus for the spreadsheet tabs at the lower graphic border, only the menu item <span class="T1">Select All Spreadsheets</span> can be activated. You can select either <span class="T1">Delete...</span> or <span class="T1">Move/Copy...</span> or another option. To remove the protection, once again call up the command <span class="T1">Tools - Protect Document - Document...</span>. If no password is assigned, protection is immediately removed. If you were assigned a password, you can now view the dialog <span class="T1">Remove Spreadsheet Protection</span>, in which you must enter the password. Only then will the check mark specifying that protection is active be removed.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">A protected document, once saved, can only be saved again with the <span class="T1">File - Save As....</span> menu command. This makes it more difficult to save incorrect changes to the file.</p>
<p class="Head2">Password (optional)</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Enter you password to protect your document against unauthorized or accidental modifications.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">You will be able to completely protect your work by combining both options from <span class="T1">Tools - Protect Document</span>, including password entry. If you want to prevent the document from being opened by other users, select <span class="T1">Save With Password </span><text:s text:c="" xmlns:text="http://openoffice.org/2000/text"/>and click the <span class="T1">Save</span> button. The <span class="T1">Enter Password</span> dialog appears, in which you can enter a string of characters and confirm it by clicking OK. Consider carefully when choosing a password; if you forget it after you close a document you will be unable to access the document.</p>
