"Document is already open" Message

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I have Office 97 Professional. I used it successfully on a Win95 machine,
but when I upgraded and installed it on WinXP it has an annoying hiccup.
Whenever I double click on a MSWord document it opens the document fine, but
immediately produces the error message , "'Filename" is being used by Ted
Smith' Do you want to make a copy?" I just hit escape to get rid of the
message and everything is OK from then on. Similiarly, when I double click
on an Excel document I get an error message indicating that the document is
already open, and that I can't open two documents with the same name, blah
blah blah. Does anyone know a fix for this problem??
