Default Cannot save normal.dot

Word 2003. When Winword is called from a 3rd party application, it seems to
open normal.dot twice. There is only one Winword in processes, but the
application cannot save normal.dot as it is in read-only mode, so the
application fails. The 3rd party app says it is a Winword problem. How can
I fix?

Check that there is no orphan lock file for normal.dot -
