User has full access to a network folder (NTFS) where work
is stored mostly word docs. Permissions are set correctly
but when user opens a doc it comes up as a read only doc.
Close / open not read only. Close / open not read only.
Open /close ready only. Stripped and re-did permissions,
deleted / recreated user, nothing works to make it
consistent

Click to expand...

Look at the properties of the share you created, and make
sure that it is open for full access. (Explorer / Right-click
shared folder / click Sharing / Security).
 
It sounds like you are confusing the permissions on
"network shares" with those on an "NTFS volume,
files and directories."

Users must have desired level ON BOTH to accomplish
desired tasks.
