File opening read-only & file locked by XXX user prompt

Word 2003, WinXp
Word file opens read-only. Suspect that another user has the document open,
but there is no prompt, "file locked by xxxx user". Cleaned out temp files
from folder and system, which did not fix the problem. After several tries,
it cleared up on it's own.
Questions: In Word 2003, should the user get the prompt? If so, why did user
not get it if another user had the file open?
Thanks!
 
Thanks Shauna, I had already seen the locked files page; The user wanted to
know why she didn't get the "locked by XXX user" message, which sometimes
tells who has the file open.
