I also tried changing the autosave and document location settings

a couple other people mentioned doing) and that didn't work
either. The old
delete Registration Cache fix for previous versions didn't work.
Right now, I have a world-write folder available on the image and
users have
to save to that, then drag their files back to their home
documents when done.
Painful and ugly.
I'd love to know exactly what was changed...
What happened is that Apple changed some small, but significant
things in
how home directories mount, and it freaked Word out. This is due to
the way
Word saves, which needs to be fixed, but isn't something that is
easily
fixed, nor even attempted until they have to, which is now happening.
THanks for the clarification on this John. After rolling some boxed
back to 10.4.1 (oh how I love radmind!) I can confirm that as long as
there is a .Temporary Items folder with world-write permissions at
the root of a unix-served samba volume (haven't tested a windows one
yet) then Office will work OK. Move to 10.4.2 however and there's no
simple way to save documents to your SMB mounted network home.
Looks like my labs will be staying on 10.4.1 for the mean time.
Incidentally, Macromedia Director 2004 has the same kind of problem
(won't save to an SMB mounted home directory) and I have informed
them of it several times over the past year (it existed in 10.3.9
too) to no avail. If anyone else has as workaround other than saving
locally and copying to the server, I'd love to hear it.
Cheers,
