I don't have a Mac myself (I use Linux), but have you checked within
the directory, where you've saved your file, if there is another file
with a very similar name, but probably starts with ~ and ends
with .lck? If yes, please delete this file and you should be able to
open your original file. You might want to set Finder to show you
hidden files. (I'm not 100% sure, if this file is usually hidden or
not). 

Hope this helps.
