Word Documents Become Read Only

E

Eddie W.

Hi! I've been using Office 2007 and OneNote 2007 on my personal tablet. The
integration between them is fantastic. However, there's a problem I run into
from time to time. I use a OneNote notebook to hold my class files,
sometimes more than a few document types on a single page, along with my
handwritten and typewritten notes on the same page. (See how flexible
OneNote is?!) Anyway, I find that if I open a Word document or two, and an
Excel doc, and maybe a PDF from the same page, my Word documents will
sometimes become read only. I find it out usually during a File/Save from
the dropdown menus, when the system prompts me for a new file name. Also,
sometimes when I'm existing from OneNote, and nothing else is open, I'll get
a prompt that my Word or Excel or PowerPoint document is still open on the
system, and asking if I want to discard the changes. (When I get this
message, I'll open up task manager to make sure none of the Office apps are
running, and they're always not.) I haven't lost data by agreeing to the
discard notice, though. I'm not on Sharepoint or anything enterprise like
that. I'm using Vista on an IBM X60 Tablet. Thanks for any insight! Eddie
