There is nothing you can do. Word will lock the file. Word is not a
multi-user application.

Hi
I open a text file with ms word 2003 (i.e. a common txt file) and I need
to
edited from ms word which is ok, but I need also in parallel access it by
an
external application and I cannot (I get a message permission denied). I
imagine that ms word lock the file. So what I can do to override this
setting? in order to edit the file from another application while the file
is
opened in word?
Thank you
