My company is using Office 97 and one of the PC with Windows Professional and FAT32 file system is having problem with opening and saving MS Word document.
Whenever trying to open the doc file it will gave a message that: "the abc.doc is being used by another user. Do you want to make a copy?" If i click yes then it says that word cant open the document...
On the other hand if i create a new word document and try to saves it. I wiil get an error msg "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error."
i would appreciate any suggestion or solution fr you guys. TQ

Delete all of the temp files Word leaves behind. They start with a tilde (~). you can usually delete
~*.*
or
~$*.*
Rename/delete Normal.dot
