[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1604938, member: 46727"] It's true that OS X permissions do not effect individual documents but it was a worthwhile shot just in case that your permissions somehow got confused and caused the problem with the documents. I'm wondering if you might have a corrupted user identity in Word? I've had that happen but it shouldn't change document permissions. However, something is changing the file permissions since the default is read and write. I just had another thought.... I wonder if the permissions have changed in your normal template? The Word normal template is a blank template which sets up the format for all your documents. I'm not sure if that were somehow set for read only if it would cause all new documents to be the same? Have you gone back and checked some of your older documents you created say around a month ago or so or at least before this started occurring? If older documents that you created are normal, then it might be easier to track down where the new permissions are being set from. [/QUOTE]
