[Macpartners] Problem with Office 2008

[Jenn Morris]

Hi -

I've been using Office 2008 for a while now and just had a problem  
today where when I disconnected my laptop from ethernet and went onto  
wireless while Excel and Word were open. I got a warning that Office  
was already in use by another user and it stated the user's name. It  
happens to be someone I know that is in the same building as me.

I had to force quit both applications because I wasn't getting any  
response. When I restarted Word a message popped up saying the same  
other user was using Word and I couldn't.

I used the MIT Office 2008 installer.

Has anyone else ever seen this problem?
