Hello, Sorry I wasn't clear on my last post. Indeed it was the umask ignore bug in gnome which was preventing me seeing the effect of the changes I made on the /etc/profile files where I added the 'umask 002' line.
Checking it by creating an odt file via open office proved it was working as you suggested. It has taken quite a long time for us to get our system up to level where relatively inexperienced users can manage on their own. This is maybe partly due to the fact that we did a slow migration from our old conventional Linux server/individual workstations to the new Edubuntu system. So a bit of documentation, user training and a break is required before any upgrade to 7.0 !!
