meonline, when you say> if I save the original .xlsx w/o a password, then open under wine and create a password, things work as expecteddo you mean that you can open the new password protected with MS Office in Windows? Because I can't... I've tried with Wine 1.3.12, but the problem is still here.
henriquefm, I understand that I was not clear in what I meant by> things work as expectedUnfortunately, I can not remember what I meant and have since uninstalled Wine in favor of resorting to running a VM under VirtualBox. Since I only run the VM to work with Office docs (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and OneNote), I'd prefer the wine approach. But, I have not had the opportunity to revisit this issue. Sorry I can't add clarity. meonline
