| Unlocking a document Hi, While working on a template I was told by my computer that I was doing an illegal operation. Now my computer says that my info.doc. is locked by me. It says "read only". It says further, click "notify" to open "read only" copy of the doc. and receive notifcation when doc. is no longer in use. How do you unlock a doc. file? Also, since my template has a shortcut icon on the desktop, it affected my desktop so that I can't open any application via the desktop. I have to use the start button to do it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Carlos |

It's prob best to delete ~*.tmp everywhere. This prob can happen if word was not closed and the comp was turned off or restarted. like when there's a crash. |
