Hello Guys,

I just received error: ''ordser of events.docs is locked for editing by ...... (user)'' when trying to open Microsoft word on a stand alone computer (Surface Pro 2).

Also, when you open a new MS word, after saving the word file, when you try to open it, it gives the same issue.

Kindly hel

Hi,

Did you like share us the screenshot of the error message? I suppose that you get the error message like this: "The document is locked for editing by another user."  Am I right? If yes, please try the method:

Turn off the Preview Pane, Details Pane and pop ups that show information about file and desktop items. In a Windows Explorer window, do the following:

1. Right click on the Start Button.
2. Click 'Open Windows Explorer'.
3. At the top left click Organize > Layout 
4. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.

5. On a Windows menu, click on Tools > Folder Options.  In the box that opens up, click on the View tab.  Scroll down the list to Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items and clear the checkbox and then click OK. 

If I misunderstood something, please feel free let me know.

Regards,
