How to delete password /save without password for OpenOffice Documents

So here's a little trick for my friends who are using OpenOffice : go Freeware! If you want to save a document in OpenOffice with a password and then delete the password thereafter, here's how to do it: 1. Go to File, Save As, 2. Here's the the trick: If you locked the document in a .doc format, you will have to lock the document with a .odt format. ie. CHECK the
Save with password
box, then save it with a password, BUT in a different format. 3. Open the file with the password in the different format. 4. File, Save as again and this time, UNCHECK the
Save with password
box and you should have a document without a password. Note: There must be a bug somehow that did not allow it to save the document in the same format and delete the password. Will report it. Leave me a comment if you still ahve any other problems with this.
