How do I fix 'Grant file access' and 'Additional authorisations required' errors in Word on MacBook Air?

Three friends of mine have the same Problem using Word on their Macs. They get a pop-up: It says: "Grant file access" and "Additional authorisations are required to open the following files:" And then they are unable to go on.

Is there anybody who recognizes this phenomenon?

Access privileges denied, Word, Ventura 13.3.1 After creating 2 word documents, and trying to save them, a message appeared that "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error". I made a TEST Word document and named it 'TEST'. When I tried to close it, a message appeared that "Document 1 cannot be saved". And it closed, and it did not save as Doc. 1. I look in the file and I see TEST doc is saved. Why does this message appear, but the document is saved? When I tried to open the document TEST, message appears "Word cannot open the doc; user does not have access privileges. I followed the steps at support.apple.com, the MAC os Ventura 13 User Guide steps, but they did not resolve the issue. There are 2 users on my laptop, I am the administrator. Anyone else experience the same problem?

Getting Error Message Trying to Open Word Docs In my documents folder, I found a bunch of Word files that I cannot open. I get this message: Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions. Check the file permissions for the document or drive. Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space. Open the file with the Text Recovery converter. I tried all of those suggestions (No issues with permissions, I have sufficient memory, and trying to open it in text recovery didn't work). These are all .doc files, if that helps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
