I installed word and excel 97 on a new laptop with windowsxp. I copied all my word files to the computer. Now when I open any of the files on the laptop an alert pops up and says, "FILE is being used by USER. Would I like to make a copy?" FILE is the name of the file and USER is whatever user is logged on.

It happens with new files i create and with old ones. And it doesn't matter what user is logged on. I have tried changing the author name and going to options and changed the user information to the different usernames and other names.

Does anybody have any idea on how to stop this alert from coming up everytime I open a word document?
