Figure 9: Example of an operating system Save dialog
When the Save As dialog (Figure 8) or Save dialog (Figure 9) opens, enter the file name, change
the file format (if applicable), navigate to a new location (if applicable), and click Save.
The dialog that opens when using the Save As command depends on the options that have been
set in LibreOffice. See “Open and Save As dialogs” on page 31 for more information.
Password protection
To protect a document and restrict who can open and read the document, or open and edit the
document, you have to use password protection.
1) Using the Save As command above, select the Save with password option in the Save As
dialog or Save dialog.
2) Click Save and the Set Password dialog opens (Figure 10).
3) In File encryption password, enter a password to open the document and then enter the
same password as confirmation.
4) To restrict who can edit the document, click the More Options button. This button changes
to Fewer Options when clicked.
5) In File sharing password, select Open file read only and enter a password to allow editing
and then enter the same password as confirmation.
6) Click OK and the dialog closes. If the passwords match, the document is saved password
protected. If the passwords do not match, you receive an error message.
