WORD 97 shared doc 'opening' problem/Server

[Flexicar]

I have just Networked 4 Windows 98 SE workstations, all with Office 97, to a Server with Windows 2000 Server.
I can go to any workstation and copy a Word document that is on a C: drive to a common public folder on my Server (yes, it's NTFS), and it's there just fine.
But when I go to any other workstation and go to the folder, the .Doc is there, but it won't open it, I have to <C><A><D> to get out of it, as it is 'not responding', and end the task.
The Office installs all have SP1 on, and the Server has SP2 installed.

I don't get any kind of error, I go to open it either by clicking on it through Explorer, and the Word template come up, and that's it.
I go through Word 97 and open it that way, same thing.

Any simple ideas ? Do something - learn something - It isn't going to fix itself.

P.S. - I was able to open these files just once, and since then, not at all. Do something - learn something - It isn't going to fix itself.
