Are resaving using the MS format? If so, try saving using the LO 
standard format while working on them and only saving a MS version when 
done.

Sometimes Windows will not allowing editing until you use Save As to 
save the file with a new name or different format. I have seen this 
behavior sometimes with other applications.
