I have just installed XP in place of Win 98. I have also installed MS Office 97. I uploaded my My Documents files from previous

When I go into My Documents and open both Word and Excel files, a dialogue box tells me that there is another file of the same name or it is being used by John Lynch, who is my self of course. It appears that the files, even after amendment or creation of new files, are mirrored.
For example: opening an Excel file, dialogue box shows:
"A document with the same name 'Attendance expected.xls' is already open. You cannot open two documents with the same name even if the documents are in different folders. To open the second document, either close the document that's currently open, or rename one of the documents."
 
Hi John, try the Excel and Word NGs, they would be able to offer assistance
