[comp.sys.mac.apps] MS Word Files From Hell

derosa@motcid.UUCP (John DeRosa) (11/09/90)

One of the users that I help has a very interesting
and weird problem that I have never seen before.

He has created quite a few files with MS Word 4.0c but
he cannot change their names.  More accurately, he can
change their names in the finder but after that is done
they cannot be accessed from MS Word.  An error message
of "cannot open file: <filename>" is shown.  He has
reported that he has also gotten the error, "file is
busy".

If I change the name back to the original name, the 
files can be openned.

This occurs if the file is "double-clicked" or openned
from the application.

HHEEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!
