When you open password protected against edition MS Office PPS document AOO want open it in read only mode as MS Office does. Instead AOO displays Error Window with "Read Error: Opening password protected Power Point presentations is not possible." Well it should be possible for AOO to open password protected against edition PPS files in read only mode. As it is a serious drawback not being able to do this. Steps to reproduce: 1. Make any Power Point presentation, protect it with password against being edited 2. Open it with AOO and get the error window "Read error: Opening password protected Power Point presentations is not possible." Expected result: AOO should open password protected against edition PPS document in read-only mode.
