I have a pc with XP Pro and all updates, plus Office 97.
Just lately, when I open an existing Word file, Word asks if I want "to revert to the saved file". I answer "No", and carry on editing the file I had just opened.
If I open an existing Excel file, it says there is already a file of that name open, and that I must either close one or rename it. I just click on OK, and Excel carries on as if nothing is wrong.
Now I know these isn't major problems, but they are becoming irritating, so please would someone tell me how to get rid of these two problems.
Thankyou

Thankyou, both of you. The Word problem and the Excel problem have now been eradicated.
OldJim's solutions did the trick. Method 3 in OldJim's first solution solved the Word problem. OldJim's second solution solved the Excel problem.
Once again thanks to both of you.
