Hi Michael, I'm glad you're liking it

Windows has pretty strict file locking so if Word has a file locked we
can't normally update it (and even if we could, it might be a bad
idea.)  However, we should at least try to handle it decently.  Could
you please file a bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr including the
text of the actual error you get.

Thanks,
