Only one person can open and have control of a file at a time. Word is not a
multi-user system. If others cannot open the document normally, then you
need to check the file permissions of all of you as the lock files do not
appear to be released when the document is closed.

I saved a document on a network drive and obviously when the first
person open it, the doc is fine. For the second person it opened as
read-only and for the third person an error occurs that the file does
not exist or the folder is invalid.
