Libre Office Base; Opens reports in read-only

Question

LibreOffice Base opens reports automatically in read-only mode. I've looked everywhere to find how to make sure it doesn't opens reports in read-only mode.

Does anyone knows how to make sure that LibreOffice Base won't open reports in read-only mode?

Thank you for your time!

Answer 1

Just do a SAVE AS for your read-only report file. And then open the resulting .odt document. It will be editable.

Answer 2

As suggested here by redN00ws, this worked for me:

Have you tried 'Format' > 'Sections' ? Then select the Section (eg. Section1) with 'Write Protection' activated and deactivate it. Now it should be editable.

Answer 3

In the version I'm using (5.0.5) there's an info bar at the top of the created document:

This document has been opened read-only.                                               Edit Document
