Cannot save in Read-Only mode, please resave using a different file name
My File is not Read-only, why would it open in Read-only mode?
I have to keep resaving my file with a different name every five saves,
How do I fix this?

Hi Tom,

What version of Word and Window are you using?
Is the document being opened from your hard drive, from email or from a server?

If Windows has set a temporary file to indicate that the file is in use, then Word will flag the file as locked.

I'm having a very similar problem on two computers in our office with Word
2007. If I have created a document from a template and save it as a new-named
document and then I try to save it as an updated template of the same name as
the original template, it tells me I cannot save the document with the same
name as an open document. Even if I exit Word and come back in when I open
the newly created document (not the template) and try to again save it as a
template with the original template's name, it tells me I can't save it using
the same name as an open document.
