Default Word 2013 opens doc in read only?

I get this problem the first time I run Word 2013 after rebooting or so it seems, problem doesn't occur all the time...



When I open a folder and doubleclick on a doc to open it for editing, it opens but opens in read only mode.

I close then re-open and it opens for normal editing.

And ideas?

Do you have the preview pane displayed in Windows Explorer and dialog boxes? Try turning it off.
