** Description changed:

  I am given a form (details at end), last edited in 2008 so presumably
  using Office 2007 or earlier. This form is password-protected against
  modification of anything but the fields one is meant to type data into.
  Filling in the form works in Office 2010.
  
  With LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) on Ubuntu precise, I
  cannot fill in any of the fields. Writer says (in the title bar) that
  the document is read-only. If I View->Toolbars->Form Design and
  View->Toolbars->Form Navigation I see that almost all the controls are
  grayed out; the only two exceptions are Open in Design Mode and
  Automatic Control Focus, however pressing these doesn't result in any
  noticeable state change. If I press the "Edit File" button in the
  Standard toolbar, I get prompted for the document's password (which I
  don't know).
  
  This isn't really a new problem. OpenOffice 3.2 in Ubuntu lucid lets me
  type a few characters into the first form field, then exactly two
  characters into the second field before telling me that the form cannot
  be filled. I'm guessing that the main underlying issue is the same but
  that another bug (which made OpenOffice 3.2 accept the first few
  characters of form input) has been fixed.
  
  I'm not sure I am at liberty to attach a copy of the .doc file to this
- document since I don't hold the copyright to it. It can be downloaded
- from http://formhotel.accessia.se/su/Default.aspx; search for 9031
- (other forms on that site may also be affected, I haven't checked) and
- choose the Word version.
