Change permissions for files, folders, or disks on Mac. Permission settings determine who can view and alter files on the computer. You change permission settings at the bottom of the Info window for a file, folder, or disk in the Finder.
We use AppleScript to create MS Word documents, which also included pictures. This works fine with Word 2011, but I run into problems with Word 2016. When opening files with Word 2016 via AppleScript, a 'Grant File Access' dialog window pops up. This probably has to do with sandboxing. If you see this message, simply select the file or files and click Select to grant access to custom dictionaries. For more information about installing Office 2016 for Mac, including information about running Office 2016 for Mac on the same computer with Office for Mac 2011, see Install Office on your PC or Mac.

Use the GrantAccessToMultipleFiles command to request access to multiple files at once in your Office 2016 for Mac solution.
Unlike VBA macros in Office for Mac 2011, VBA macros in Office 2016 for Mac don’t have access to external files by default. Because the Office 2016 for Mac apps are sandboxed, they do not have permission to access external files.
Existing macro file commands prompt the user for permission to access a file if the app doesn’t have access to it. This means that macros that access external files cannot run unattended. The user must approve file access the first time each file is referenced. You can use the GrantAccessToMultipleFiles command to minimize the number of prompts in order to improve the user experience.
