Word files vs Mac OS X permissions on shared files



Really need help! Can't solve this one --

1. Ethernet Network connecting 4 Macs all running Mac OS 10.4.6 and
Microsoft Office X for Mac w/Service Pack 1.

2. Each of the 4 users has a subfolder, inside their Public folder,
named according to the User's First Name, e.g., Public -->C, Public
-->M, Public -->E, and Public -->Yon the respective Macs.

3. The respective Public folders and the User subfolder are set with
Get Info so that Everyone can Read and Write.

4. Newly-created Word documents, saved to current user folder will not
allow any of the other users on the network to modify one of the files
and save it back to the original user's folder i.e., If M creates a
Word document and saves it to her Public -->M subfolder then E can open
the file, modify it but cannot save back to the original folder. She
can only save by changing the file name.

Help please.

Thanks,
Ron Osborne
