Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 2
Situation
Trustees are set on a Microsoft Office document. When you
edit this document and then save it the trustees no longer appear
on the file.
This is caused by the way that Microsoft Office does the saving. It creates a new temporary file and then puts the changes into this file and then renames it to be the original name and deletes the old one. As this is a new file it will not have any trustee assignments.

Resolution
Place the file that needs trustees into a new folder, then assign
the new folder the appropriate trustee rights. Then each new
file will have the correct rights due to the rights that it
inherits from the folder.
