Another option--
With Word closed, access Windows Task Manager (Alt+Ctrl+Del).
Select Processes
Select WinWord.Exe
Click End Process
Eureka-- now you can delte the tmp file.

In passing, if you have more than one WinWord process open--and it
happens--Word Table functions do not work properly. Same solution.
