I am using Word 2007 (12.9.6324.5000) with Service Pack 1 MSO
(12.0.6213.1000) on a Windows XP Prefessional Version 2000 machine with
Service Pack 2 and logged into a Novell network (Novell Client 4.91 SP4
for Windows, version 4.91.4.20070720).
In earlier versions of Word, when I would open a saved Word document
attached to a template on our network, the document would open normally.
In Word 2007, when I open a saved Word *document* attached to a template
on our network, sometimes the File in Use dialog box pops up with a
message that the *template* is locked for editing by another user.
(Even though nobody has opened the template for editing, somebody might
have opened another document based on the same template.)
Sometimes I get this message even when no document attached to it is
open -- for example, a newly created template that has been attached to
only one document so far. At other times, I do not get this message,
even when the template has been opened for editing. It is puzzling why
this behavior is so inconsistent.
My question is this: what settings do I need to change (in Word
Options, Windows Registry, Windows policies, network
servers/folders/files/policies) so that the File In Use dialog box will
not pop up at all when the file in question is the template attached to
a document that I am trying to open?
If anybody knows, please help
