Default Template "File In Use" when opening 2 documents based on the same template

I've created a template (.dotx) and saved it on our fileserver so that all employees can create documents based on this template. The template contains styles, headers, footer and some standard text. We have now created a couple of documents (.docx) based on this template but if I have a document that’s based on that template open and a colleague of mine opens a different document that is also based on the same template he gets the following message:
File In Use
xxxxxx.dotx is locked för editing by ‘Henrik’.
Do you want to:
o Open a Read Only copy
o Create a local copy and merge your changes later
o Receive notification when the original copy is available

Why does he get this message?
How do we get rid of it?

I’ve been searching on internet for a week now without finding any answer so I hope that someone here can shed some light on this for us.
Thank you in advance.
