| 583835 | 2007-08-22 18:36:00 | Hi I have youst built an new computer from scratch and installed w2k and office 97. This configuration works greate for my needs except that if I click on and office document which next will open word, word always start with the message "<document name> is in use by <computer name>. Do you wanna make a copy?"... This is anoying. If I click "No" I can edit and save my document as wanted but I really would like to get rid of this message. I have tried to download the fixes for office 97 found at microsoft, but they do not fix this problem :groan: . Is there some register settings or anything else which may cause this behaviour??? Thanks in advance. |
