There is an annoying behavior: Any given Word document will become uneditable after a short number of revisions. Have to save it with a different name.<br />
<br />
Is it possible to stop this from happening? Doesn’t seem to happen with Excel documents, only Word.

Word documents become uneditable

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
