automation

In my application i am using word automation to get the text content from the file. It is working fine no issues. But at the instant when word automation is processing, if i open the word file, it is throwing a dialog with message (any file)

"This file is in use by another application or user. (C:\User\xyz\AppData...\Normal.dotm)".

When close the dialog, it asking for save the file "normal.dotm"...template file.

This happens only in MSWord 2007 not in MSWord 2003. can any one tell the solution please.
