Default Documents spontaneously become "read only" while I'm editing them

Is there some macro shortcut that I'm accidentally using to have this happen? I am the only one using the documents and, as I said, I will be in the middle of editing a document when it suddenly becomes read only. It's very frustrating, to say the least and I'd like to know what's causing this to happen.



Thanks!

Are you opening these documents from a document management system like Sharepoint?

Are other users also accessing these documents concurrently?
