I no longer use Word, but I recall Word having a feature to lock a document. Have you checked to see if the Word "lock" feature is on or off for the documents in question?

If not then:

Have you checked access rights on the folders containing the documents.

Also, right click and check that they are not marked as read only.

Lastly check look in tools>protect document
in Word and check the settings.
