What happens is that when you edit a file, it is opened in "exclusive"
mode,  so  that  other  programs  can't (try to) change it at the same
time.

What  do you mean, "went back to the document"?  If you had it open in
Word,  and tried to use some other program with it, it will fail.  You
need to close it first before trying to open it in another program.

In  some  cases,  you  need  to exit the program completely, or, worse
case, restart the computer.
