Problem saving a reviewed word doc.

[Josh]

Preface: I constantly email documents to and from another agent in my
office, and we use the "Review" function of word to make changes so they are
visible to our clients. I am running Office 2007, and do back-compat save my
files to Word 97-2003 so that everyone in the office can view them correctly.

The problem: When I accept all the changes in the reviewed document, I
cannot save the file with the current file name, it throws a "Current File In
Use" error. I end up having to save it to another file name, then deleting
the original file I was working on.

Is this a problem with the version of .doc that I'm saving it as? Or is it
an issue with using the review function?

I use Tracked Changes in Word 2007 on documents in the old file format and
don't encounter this issue.

Are the documents already saved in the Word 97-2003 file format as you are
working on them? Or are they in the new file format and after you accept all
changes are you then trying to save in the Word 97-2003 file format?

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
