I have just started using Word 97 with Windows XP.
Whenever I open any Word document, the message: "document name is being
used by my user name. Do you want to make a copy? OK | Cancel"
This did not happen before when I used Word 97 with Windows 95. How do I
get rid of this message popping up every time?
