Default Error with Linked Word and Excel files.


I am getting an error the following error when opening a word file,
which contains linked charts from an excel file.

"A document with the name 'filename.xls' is already open. You cannot
open two documents with the same name, even if the documents are in
different folders. To open the second document, either close the
document that's currently open, or rename one of the documents."

The document is definitely not open already, and the error appears
twice, followed by one of these:

"Objects in this document contain links to files that cannot be found.
The linked information will not be updated."

There are two charts, on two sheets in the excel workbook. When double
clicking on them from the word document, they both open in Excel, from
the proper excel file.
I'm thinking there must be something else thats linked in the word
file, is there any way to search for that, something similar to the
FindLink add-in for excel?
