Dan, I am going to try this right now and my gosh, never apologize for too much info; I am not a veteran user, but do know about interacting with tables. However, not so long ago, I did not know and so I totally believe in detailed info. I will try this as I sit here in Fort Lauderdale Airport, and let you know what happens!

Don't know for sure , but maybe something is screwed up with permissions somehow? To do this do the following: 1. Go to the finder, 2. HIt command-shift-U to go to your utilities folder, which is a sub-folder of your applications folder 3. Find disc utility, and VO space on that, or command-O, either will open it 4. ONce in disc utility, one of the first things you'll come across is a table where you can select the drive you want. IN that table, select macintosh HD by interacting with VO-shift-down arrow, and VO up or down arrow, until you hear Macintosh Hd. 5. ONce you've selected MAcintosh HD, stop interacting with that table with VO-shift-up arrow. 6. VO-right arrow over to the first aid tab, and select it with VO-space. 7. On that tab, you'll find a repair permissions button, click that with VO-space. If you go further to the right, you'll then see progress as to how the permissions repair is coming along. When it is done, try saving a file in either text edit or pages again. Even though you probably already know about interacting and stopping interacting in tables Marlaina, I'm posting these detailed steps , as it seems we're getting people new to the mac, or who are thinking about getting a mac, on this list all the time.
