MAC opening / saving office files form to NAS

[DaveWalton]

Hi All

 

On our MACs

 

If students open a word (office) document from our NAS they get, "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid word document etc etc"

 

If they attempt to save to the NAS they get "word cannot save or create this file. the disk may be full or write protected. Try one of the following etc etc"

 

It works fine if i log on the mac as local admin but clearly i dont want to give the student full admin rights. If they copy the file onto the mac and open it its fine and then save the file on mac and copy it to the NAs its fine.

 

Any ideas please help ive got a teacher not very happy!!!

Think we had the same problem. Does it only happen if the browse to the drive and double click on the file. Try opening the document by opening word first then go to File, open and browse for the document. This should now open and save the document.
