Word Perfect was running well, but a couple of times it has not let me back into my file without promising to save it in a different name.
I've had a good look round, but can't find any clue as to why something's got hold of it. Attributes don't give anything away either.
What might hold onto a WPD file so that it appears to be in use?
Oh dear! It seems that the problem is squarely in the WP camp. This really does spell out just how different W7 is.
It's always, or at least since progressing to W Xp. had the tendency to call up two copies of WP. Normally I would know, because it locks up the WP. Kill it in Task manager and resume. It wouldn't do it for weeks, then start doing it again. Odd that.
With Win 7, there were no Applications running, but Processes showed a copy of WP???.exe sitting in the list. Same sort of thing. The clue was when I went to restart, it asked me if I wanted to force the program to close. Huh! Nothing's running, says I. the Processes belied that thought. killed the stray copy and all's working.
