NTFS Permissions and Office 2007 problem

[Christian]

Hi,

Office 2007 seem to create a new temporary file when opening and editing a
Word or any other Office 2007 file. When saving it deletes the file and add
the temporary file. Problem with this is that the NTFS permission "RW" does
not allow this. Reason for having RW on the files is that users should be
able to edit documents but not delete them. Only the person created the
document (or folder) should be able to do that (via Creator Owner setting
"Modify" or "C" using XCACLS).
I would like to change Office 2007 to the same behaviour as Office 2003 have
so we can use NTFS for added security.
So:
Users should be able to open, edit and save Office documents on the mapped
drive using RW (set by XCACLS).
Is there a way to sort this or do I need to put Office 2007 in the bin and
go back to Office 2003? Not using NTFS or giving full permissions for all to
files is not an option.

Please let me know if more information is required to provide input on this
issue.

Best regards,
Christian

So did Office 2003......and prior versions as well I expect. Hence the
admonition that's been around for years to never edit a Word documant
directly from a floppy...

It works fine for those still running Office 2003. It is only the Office 2007
users that get this permission problem.
