    I'm not sure if I fully understand, but I think in that scenario, the
    problem is that new Office files created would be able to be deleted. [You
    couldn't try to solve this problem by configuring the folder so that users
    could not create new files themselves, because that would also inhibit the
    creation of the necessary temp files.] Also, you'd have to make sure none
    of the existing files in the folder were owned by any of the users in
    question. And, that would be messy to maintain, requiring constant
    vigilance regarding permissions on newly created files.

    I don't think Office would complain... If the office doc can be modified and
    the temp file can be created in the existing folder, I think it only
    complains at the end, when the file is saved or closed, if that temp file
    cannot be deleted.
