I'm using the latest version of Microsoft Word (16.102.3) on my MacBook, which is running Tahoe 26.0.1.

When I make updates to a file, and try to save it, it doesn't give me any error messages, but it also doesn't actually save the file. After searching around, I found that the extended attribute com.apple.quarantine was turned on for the file:

$ ll -a@ OVERVIEW.docx
-rw-r--r--@ 1 dlw  staff  19630 Jun  9 19:49 OVERVIEW.docx
    com.apple.FinderInfo       32
    com.apple.lastuseddate#PS      16
    com.apple.metadata:kMDLabel_hkcv5t34uy2imf5634cpbogdiu    121
    com.apple.quarantine       29

I closed Word, deleted the quarantine attribute, restarted Word, opened the file back up, made a change, and tried to save the file again. It did not save it, and the quarantine attribute is back on again.

How can I stop Word from setting that attribute when I save the file?
