Word cannot save this file because it is already open elsewhere.

I keep getting the message:

Word cannot save this file because it is already open

I have Word 2002. I should have been the first one to open
this file. If anyone else opened it after me, they
shouldn't have write access. What do you suggest?

Thank you.

This is almost certainly a file locking problem. Are you on a Network? Are
you using Word XP with a Windows 2000 Server with SP3? If so, get your sys
admin to look up the SMB Packer Signing bug introduced by SP3.

Will this also help with the following Excel error?
The file 'Resources.xls' may have been changed by another
user since you last saved it. In that case, what do you
want to do?

You need to select Save a copy or Overwrite changes

and then you click OK or Cancel

Thank you.
