Is Being Used By

I know this is not the correct group for this question but could not find a good WORD group
I felt appropriate. I use XP, and Word 97. Recently started getting this pop up message
every time I opened an existing Word Document...

"c:\....\filename.doc is being used by Earl Partridge. Do you want to make a copy"

Maybe someone can point me to the correct source for an answer.

Navigate to and open the folder containing the word doc, look for that same
document but with a faded view icon, if you find it delete it. Then try
opening the document again.

Ignore any posts made by the Stalker Leythos, he's still in love with me.
He started stalking me after I spurned his advances towards me.
He said he would stop Stalking me If I stopped mentioning his name.
As you can see that does not work. He is a sick obsessive STALKER.

Why would you feel none of the word groups are appropriate?
