A notification “Document is not available for editing because it is in use by another application or user” is displayed on the Toolbar.

The file is opened in the Edit mode if it is opened in another application, but no lock file has been created by that application. For example: a file downloaded from the Internet and opened in Word in the Protected View mode will open in the Edit mode.
