Here is a link that will help you find files for Windows '98. You can
specify the day it was created or specific words in the document to
narrow down your search.

Does the "in use" happen on a new blank document?

If these files that are causing you to display the "in use" message are
the same ones you have been working on then you may have a corrupt
normal.dot on some of these documents. You can find the normal.dot and
delete and it will re-create it.
