Microsoft Word Problem

Jeff

Hi all,
In my working environment, sometimes a numbers of users
need to open a same document for editing. I understand
that for Microsoft Word, there can be only 1 person that's
editing and the rest would be read-only.

My users encountered this problem: He's the first person
to open the word document for editing and subsequently
some of them open it as a read only. When the first user
completes his editing and want to save his work, the
system suddenly prompt him that the file is open as read-
only which is not true because he is the first to open
that particular document.

Does anyone know what's the problem??It has been a
headache for us.

My Network is using Office2k and Office XP

regards....Jeff

Make multiple versions of the file or put it in a shared folder.

The scenario is : A person opens that file for editing and
some open as read only. The person whom open the file for
editing should have the rights to save the file, but this
is not the case. When that person open the file for
editing, the rest open for reading and after he finishes
editing and want to save the file, the system prompt him
that the file is open as read only. Why is this so??
