--- Comment #14 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
Providing support for longer than 15 character passwords probably requires a
fairly major overhaul. (For .doc I could extend that to 16 characters just by
-            if ( nLen <= 15 )
+            if ( nLen <= 16 )
in Init97Codec, but higher numbers didn't work, probably because "16" is
hardcoded all over the place in filter/source/msfilter/mscodec.cxx.

This is not an area I should be contributing to anyway, so that's as far as I
will investigate.
