It appears that we are having a few problems with Word documents automatically being saved as (Read-Only) documents.

I have gone through the preferences and did not see anything which instructs Word to do this automatically. I have seen the "Read-only recommended" check box in the "security" pane, but this is not checked by default.

What is happening for documents to be automatically saved as (Read-Only) docs?

This may only be happening once the document is moved from an individuals desktop to the file server. Any thought?

Thanks

Have you tried getting info on the files and making sure you have write permissions?

Hmm, just looked and yes, there were read-only options selected for groups and everyone. Thank you. Is there a way to prevent this, or rather, is there a way to make the document read/write all around by default?

You could either use the Terminal or a program like Batchmod to change the permissions for a bunch of files at once.
