Default "Blocked for Editing"

Word 2013 is giving me conniptions. Wish I could go back to Word 2003

From time to time, if I type a document and save it in the normal fashion to
my "Documents" folder, and if I then try to reopen the same document, Word
tells me that the Document is locked for editing. It means just that: I can
no longer make changes to the document and save them.

That means I am stuck and have to re-type the document, save it again with a
new name and, with luck, it will not be locked. If I insist on opening the
document, it looks weird and with two columns. This locking feature asserts
itself at random.

I spent a lot of time looking in the File Options sections looking for
any entry that might cause this behavior but all options settings look OK

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I should go back to my 2002
Word, no locking there!

Walter
