Some time ago I tested the ability to put a password on a document in Microsoft Word, and read it in a free substitute (and the reverse direction). As I recall it didn't work. But reading about the updates to LibreOffice, I think this would work now; I didn't try it. If the claims about Open Office no longer being updated are true, I'd expect this to be a problem area.
With all the claims about wire transfer fraud through hacking and monitoring the emails of real estate professionals, I'd want some means to communicate with them that's encrypted, and password-protected Word docs could work, as long as you exchange the password over the phone, not by email. |
