I would have added that group to all users, rather than "assigning" them
to that group ("assigning" inferring that you're removed them from their
current groups, and putting them there, instead).

I think you'd want to play with sticky bits, perhaps. Depends on how
you want to manage ownership when someone else modifies a file.

You might want to say which OS you're using, what you mean by "doc", and
what you're opening it with. A text file is a document, an
OpenOffice.org file is a document, but an application's document might
have more more complex ownership issues.
I've tried something similar on FC4 (a sharing directory [*] for all
users also in the "users" group, writing a file as myself, changing
group ownership to "users", modifying it as another user), and it
appeared to work fine.
* drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 4096 Aug 11 22:16 sharing
