[QUOTE="MJC1964, post: 676644, member: 58783"] Thanks LeAStrale - but this is a problem for every single Word document that I'm trying to access on my PC. When I firts set up my iMac I could open them no problem but now I can't. Because there are so many files I couldn't do as you suggest. When I respond yes to making a copy I get a message that says "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use or might not be a valid Word document" However I know it is a valid Word document as I have opened it (and others) recently. Just tried same for an Excel document on PC across the network and it opens fine?? What are the programs that tell me who/what is using a document currently? Many thanks [/QUOTE]
