Default Saved documents are suddenly coming up "File in Use", locked. Why

Suddenly my saved Word documents are coming up with a box "File in Use",
locked for editing. When I create new documents now with Word and save them,
they end up doing the same. I have not changed any settings. I de-fragged
the computer, cleaned the registry, unloaded & reloaded Microsoft Office,
checked for viruses, etc. etc. Any ideas out there? Even my computer
repairman is stumped.
