BTW chmod +w file.doc only changes permissions for owner and group - world is left untouched, not what I remembered, I guess some man reading coming my way.
From "man chmod":
"If none of these are given, the effect is as if ‘a’ were given, but bits that are set in the umask are not affected."
That means it will set all if your umask is "0". As your umask will probably be either "022" or "002", it will set write permissions to only user or only user+group respectively.
