Unwanted Error Message Every Time Word is Opened

J

Jim H.

I have Windows XP-Pro SP3 using Word 97 (it still works fine for me except
for the following problem.)

Everytime I open a word document (file.doc, for example), a pop up window
appears saying . . .

"C:\...\Desktop\file.doc is being used by Jim Hopkins. Do you want to make a
copy?"

.. . . at which time I click "Cancel" and go on my way. Now, this happens
when no other Word documents are open, even when I open files I've never
opened before. How do I get rid of this pop up window.
