    I have never been really sure of why this happens, but for some reason Word
has this small glitch that any file you have saved and then closed, is not
truly closed until you quit out of word. As far as I know there is now way
around this problem. It would be nice to see a word 4.1 or 4.01 that fixes this
problem, unless someone out there can tell me a real reason this happens. Sorry
this isn't much help, but this is how the problem works. In order to stop it
from happening, you must quit and the restart word so that it releases its hold
on all of the files that you saved during that session. Later.
