SharePoint Document Security

UPDATE: The sharepoint guys have posted a fix to this issue server-side.

The pop-up window has the option to “Use my local drafts folder.” For many users, using this option can cause issues with the check-in and check-out process.

To change the drafts folder default options, open Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and go to the Word Options (Office Button > Word Options). Under the “Save” section, change the “Save checked-out files to” option to “The web server” (2007) or “The Office Document Cache” (2010). This will change the default of the “Use my local drafts folder” to not checked
