Changing permissions

[Jim Greathead]

I recently had to create a new user, copy all apps and files to same, and then reinstall MS Office 2004 for Mac. I use a mini, 2gig Ram, and Leopard (10.5.6)OS. All my old office files have become "read only" and I cann ot modify and save w/o renaming. Is there a "blanket" way to change the Permissions to "read & write" for all my Office files? Idid not see a similar item in the FAQ's......
Also, when I open an Office application, I get the following message: "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library". How do I fix that?

First launch Entourage while holding down the 'option' key and it will ask you if you want to rebuild the database, you do.

This tool is popular for changing the permissions on lots of files:

But don't use it unless you really know what you are doing!
