No one replied to me .....
But, in case anyone like me searches archives in vain for this problem,
the answer is turn off oplocks on the share that the NT client wishes to
save Office files to.
Don't really understand why this resolves the snag and I guess the
performance will take a theoretical hit. But with 20 client machines on a
100Meg LAN this is not really a problem.
