You can fix the files with "unknown" owner by using Terminal. I don't know what your uid/gid is, so perhaps you could run the following in Terminal:

id

That'll give you both a "uid" and "gid" (probably 501 for the UID, and maybe 501 for the gid). Then, use those values with the "chown" command for each Word document, using the basic syntax:

sudo chown uid:gid the-document

Assuming the uid is 501 and the gid is 501 from the "id" command, you'd use:

sudo chown 501:501 the-document

To fill out the-document easily, type:

sudo chown 501:501

with a space at the end, and then drag down one of the documents from Finder. Drop it on Terminal, and it'll type the path for you.

Then, press Return and enter your password (it won't echo). Press Return again at the end of the password and check that document. Repeat for each "bad" file.

The Frameworks issue, though, it tough. I'd suggest reinstalling it, I think.
