I've never done a protected document in Writer but don't forget, there
is an option to turn on caret tracking in read-only documents.  I
forget exactly where that option is, but it is under the Preference
dialog.  I've been able to use caret navigation on documents that were
on CD ROMs and other write-protected directories.  Dunno if a
password-protected file will behave in the same way or not.
