Word 2000 with sr-1 and sp-1 updates in lace along with trying to reinstall and then uninstall and reinstall have not worked. Saving a document results in the error of word saying someone else has my file open or the user does not have permission to write to the file. The file gets saved by changing its name and the orig file has the extension added .in2 to the existing document. I've searched MS sites and the help and found no reference to such an extension. I found a freeware "fileext.zip" that did not id the extension type. Also no viruses found. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This problem is sporatic. Thanks.

I have been seeing this on new Win2000 station with Word2000. The Service pack is not needed according to the download site check. The file can only be saved by edit/select all/copy to clipboard. If you have found another solution I would greatlyappreciate hearing about it. e-mail dunnalea@hotmail.com

I have been seeing the .in2 extensions added to the .doc files. I have had no luck trying to determine what the cause is and how to fix it. I do not have the problem saving the file . In fact Word 2000 works fine with the exception that the .doc.in2files are left lying about.
