If you're trying to open a Word doc, and it keeps saying you don't have permission (even when you own the document), asking you to grant access to the document, and then still not giving you access; then just quit out of Word completely, and then launch it up again. The document should open fine after that.

grant acces problem
Hello Everyone, Yes it works but what is happening after an hour out two it goes back to the same issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling office resolved the problem, oddly this is happening on 3 computers for no reason. And does not happen to every document.
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks it worked
Thanks a lot! Was very worried before..
It’s also useful to restart your computer and clear your cache. This is a REALLY ANNOYING quirk of Word and it enrages me every time.
Thank you very much. Great and the easiest solution. I was trying many solutions but this is the best one.
