When I open a file in MS Word the following message appears: "file is being used by (my name). Do you want to make a copy?" I click "cancel" or "X" and access the file.
All of the files were created using MS Office 97 Professional. Many of the files were created on a previous PC running under Windows 98SE. I am now running MS Office 97 on a newer generic PC which is a Pentium 4 (2.80 Ghz) with one GB RAM. The OS is Windows XP Professional with SP2. The newer PC is part of a four PC home network. The message is the same regardless. I would appreciate any help in resolving the underlying situation producing the message.
