How do you unlock a word document?

I was using Word this morning (I think it's Word 2000, but I'm not sure) to edit a document when the program suddenly crashed and had to close. When I opened Word again and tried to reopen the document, I got a message that said the document was locked for editing by me. I'm the only one who has access to the document, so no one is locking me out. My Word program is just under a bizarre delusion that I don't want myself to edit my own document. So how should I fix it? Please, if you know, speak very simply; I don't know very much about computers at all.

Update:

If you don't know, then why would you answer? Are the 2 points really worth it to you, because I really need help.
