Hi Jim
Thank you very much for responding, just tried that and the file opened without the permissions warnings I usually get, but it takes a long time (30+seconds) to open the file. Tech help at the apple store said that I probably have too many large office files on my Mac and that could be slowing it down. That may be so but the point is I was opening all my office files very quickly with no problems until I upgraded to OS Sonoma.
It may be I have to archive my files, reinstall OS, and 365, and start again!
Any more thought would be appreciated before I do that, thanks for you help.
