        <pre>Ok, so that would be Edit -> Track changes -> Protect

If I take your document (manually save as .odt) and set "test" as the password
and save as .doc or .docx I get no error when opening in Word

What version of Word are you testing in? I'm on latest macOS version 16.36

As this was first reported on 6.3.1 do you still have the issue on 6.4.3?
<a href="https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/">https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/</a>

Can you upload the version of the document that fails, e.g., the document you
uploaded didn't have the protection on.

I'm also setting this as OS all, since this is likely not a macOS specific
problem</pre>
