Macro security
Click the Macro Security button to open the Macro Security dialog,
where you can adjust the security level for executing macros and
specify trusted sources.
File sharing options for this document
Select the Open this document in read-only mode option to
restrict this document to be opened in read-only mode only. This
option protects the document against accidental changes. It is still
possible to edit a copy of the document and save that copy with the
same name as the original.
Select the Record changes option to enable recording changes.
This is the same as Edit > Changes > Record. To allow other users
of this document to apply changes, but prevent them from disabling
change recording, click the Protect button and enter a password.
Appearance options
Writing, editing, and page layout are often easier to do when you can
see as much as possible of what's going on in your document. You may
wish to make visible such items as text, table, and section boundaries,
and grid lines (see “Grid options” on page 54). In addition, you might
prefer different colors (from OOo’s defaults) for such items as note
indicators or field shadings.
On the OpenOffice.org – Appearance page, you can specify which items
are visible and the colors used to display various items.
