When Word 2003 tries to save files to a subfolder in My Documents access is
denied. I cannot permanently change the permission for this folder to allow
files to be saved. I can access the button to change permission and save
this choice but when I check permission again it is reset toread only.) The
account is administrator.
 
"My Documents" under Vista is not really a folder: it is a "junction point" for
backwards compatibility with older programs.

Save your documents in Documents (or a sup-folder you create) with Vista.

Thanks! I will give this a try.

You're welcome.

You should not attempt change anything for these "junction points" (i.e.
anything preceded by "My") or you could do serious damage to your Windows
installation .

By the way, that should be suB-folder!

I tried to save documents in subfolder by changing where Word 2003 saves
files. Despite this, Save As still tries to save a file in My Documents. I
cannot find anywhere to change this, including the registry. Any suggestions
are very welcome!
