How can I open password protected ODS files (Open Office)?
Found many Open Office viewer apps, but couldn't find a password protected ODS viewer ...

Found many Open Office viewer apps, but couldn't find a password protected ODS viewer ... I wonder why it was not ported yet - it is open source so it would be just an issue of converting existing code.
ODS password protection is by far a lot better than XLS password protection.
If anyone knows of an app or some other method I would be grateful :)

AndrOpen Office opens SD documents in read-only on Lenovo A7600-F
I've got a fairly new Lenovo A7600-F, which has updated to Android 5 since I purchased it. I'm also fairly new to Android, having gotten my first device (Galaxy S4) five months ago. I wouldn't call myself a power user. Because I write on my tablet, and on my home computer (Kubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, kept...
I've got a fairly new Lenovo A7600-F, which has updated to Android 5 since I purchased it. I'm also fairly new to Android, having gotten my first device (Galaxy S4) five months ago. I wouldn't call myself a power user.
Because I write on my tablet, and on my home computer (Kubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, kept up to date), I searched for a method to directly edit the ODT files from LibreOffice on the tablet, and found AndrOpen Office. Aside from font availability limitations, this has been working pretty well, except for one thing: when I connect the tablet to my computer, I can only access files on the SD card, and then only write to a single folder (LOST.DIR), and files stored there open in AndrOpen Office Writer as read-only, even after formatting the SD card in the tablet. I've tried moving the AndrOpen Office app to SD storage, and that failed, but Android gave no indication (that I've seen) why. Opening a document from internal storage and using "Save As" to put it on the SD card also fails; though I didn't note the exact error message, it said something about "nonexistent object" and "nonexistent file".
I'm able to install other apps directly to SD card when I've selected the SD card as primary write location via Settings. I'm able to copy files to and from the SD card using the File Browser that came pre-installed on the tablet (I'm not sure if this is part of Android or something Lenovo installed; my phone is a Verizon device, and they modify the OS a good bit, making it uncertain to compare built-in apps between phone and tablet). This makes me confident the SD card isn't mounted in read-only mode.
How can I save documents from AndrOpen Office directly to the SD card, or open documents from the SD card in editable form (i.e. to save back to the original file)?

I created a docx file in LibreOffice on my computer running Debian 9.1 with KDE and copied it to my Android phone. On the phone I try to open the file with the LibreOffice app. However I can't edit the file and just read the document as it's read-only - I get:
> This file is read-only, saving is disabled.
I already tried a couple of other formats and doing File->Save a Copy on my computer.
How can I get it to be editable?

Writing structured text documents

I recently bought an Android tablet with a keyboard, and would like to use it to take notes of conferences, lectures, meetings etc. On a Windows or Linux notebook, I would use the excellent LyX system for this. LyX basically allows you to write structured text without worrying about the layout, saying "this is a #3 heading" or "this should be emphasized" instead of "this should be bold and a larger size". LyX then allows you to export your text as PDF, DOC, ODF, LaTeX and so on.
I am looking for an App that allows a similar approach to writing for Android. What I already tested:
- Writer is almost what I'm searching, a minimalist text editor that understands Markdown and saves its document as plain text on the Android device (no network necessary). I'd like a few more formatting options and an export feature, though.
- Write:Tablet doesn't seem to have many structuring features
- Most "office" packages like Polaris Office do not offer format templates, but restrict the user to bold / italic / font size types of formatting
- Google Docs needs a constant net connection
So, I'm aware that this is a very small niche I am looking for here, and such an app would probably not make sense on phones, but is there another interesting tool for structured text creation?

Is there any highlighting or annotating software for ODT -format: LibreOffice or OpenOffice?
I read my LibreOffice/OpenOffice documents with tablets and smartphones. Is there any software for the ODT -format which allows me to edit such files. I often find things which I should fix and would like to note that to the file.
