Well, we probably can't help at all -- it's a frequently-reported bug -- but
we need a lot more information to even begin to try.
Begin by re-booting your computer (so we know exactly which 'processes' are
running).
Then note down which disk drive the documents are on (we need to know if
this is a network locking issue or a local locking issue). And yes, we're
going to need to know the OS and update level of the server too, if the
documents are not on your local computer
Then make a list of all the documents that you open and close before the
fault occurs.
Note down any "Copy" operations you perform (either from one document to the
other, or within a document).
Note down any "helper" applications you are running such as TypeItForMe or
SpellCatcher.
Once we get all of that information, we may be able to take a guess at what
is locking the document so you cannot save it.
But we will probably tell you "Sorry, it's just a bug, there's nothing you
can do about it."
