Never seen this before; it sounds like an OO.o-specific thing.  If it
were me, I'd do the following.

If he's saving his document as a .sxw, have him try saving as .odt.  If
he's saving in .odt, then try .sxw.  If both give the same "gimme the
password" results, then have him try it as a .rtf or .sdw (the original
StarWriter format).  I'm using OO.o 1.1.2 that comes w/ K12LTSP 4.2.1EL.
