pages document locked itself

I literally just watched a document I had open in Pages lock itself. Now I cannot edit it, even though I am the ONLY user, but it's not showing as locked when I Get Info on the file. How do I fix this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

Nevermind, I figured it out! Someone else had sent me relevant Word docs that were locked, and I arranged them with my Pages docs in the same folder. My Mac locked the entire folder and everything in it! Once I removed the offending Word docs I was able to edit my Pages docs again. Freaking Microsoft, I swear . . .
