I have Office XP Standard Version 2002 and have been using it for 4 years.
Non of my documents are locked except one I created today. It tells me it is
locked for editing by Chester. I am Chester. how can I getr risd of the
document. It is the only one created today that behaves this way

The first thing to try is to restart your computer, or copy the file
to a different folder on your system. The reasoning for this is simple:
Sometimes Excel or Word can get confused and think that a file is
"locked" by another user, when in fact it is not. Restarting or copying
the file can help clear the confusion.
