Thanks for your response on this thread:

<long snip>
How any OS satisfies an application request for a file --or any other system
resource-- is entirely independent of the application. How an application
deals with the non-availability of the requested resource is entirely the
responsibility of the application. That's fundamental to the distinction
between "application" and "operating system". As far as I can determine,
the OS did exactly what it should -- it tried to get something requested by
Word. When the item was unavailable, the OS reported to the user what
happened and, reported the status back to Word, which blindly repeated the
request without offering any reasonable alternatives to the user.

It would be very useful, if this over comes up again, if you could post
details of how it happened. Getting solid evidence in front of the
maintainers is the most important part us users can play in getting it
fixed. We can't at this stage determine whether Word is being silly or
OS X is lying to it. I know where my money would be, but I *was* wrong
last time.

In your recent experience, the best we can say is that something out of
the ordinary happened when you transferred your work from one machine
to another. Since you are fairly confident that aliases were not
involved, I'd look again at your user ID's on your admin and work
accounts. Are they the same on both machines? (type "id") at the
terminal on each machine. My unix knowledge is small, so I don't know
how to change one of them if they differ, but I'm pretty sure that file
ownership rules are evaluated on the numeric ID and not the name.

Perhaps something broke, due to permissions, in the chain between some
file Word wanted (maybe some of your own work or settings, or maybe one
of the libraries it uses) and where the file really was? I'm out of my
depth here. It is just a wild guess. Did you do a fresh out of the box
installation of Office on your new machine, or did you use Apple's
migration assistant?
