Some Word 2007Documents [compatibilty Mode]Opens as read only
Rename + Saving not allowed -"already open in other application"
Checked document properties -Read Only not set
Closing and re-opening Windows Explorer sometimes works, other times
Laptop
must be restared, Explorer re-opened, then the Document can be Renamed,
Deleted, Saved or Opens OK - sometimes
If I save as a differnt name = OK, but to delete the old versions I have
to
re-start Explorer or the PC -very frustrating as this doesn't always work
either!
