tried that and that now normal chmod as me works okay but sudo chmod 
still not permitted.
I tried dragging a file to my desktop, opening and saving back to 
desktop works fine. Drag from desktop back onto folder via the file 
browser also works fine! So I guess nfs is okay?
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.

So now it seems what I have is an Openoffice problem. It writes odt 
files just fine via nfs but not doc files.
Must be a micro$oft conspiracy.
I'll take this off list as it does not appear to be a CentOS issue.
Thanks for the help.
