"File in use" error trying to attach MSWord doc to outlook and slack
Why can't you attach an open Word doc into a Slack or Outlook message? I understand it is Word locking the doc, but if there are no pending changes, it is SUCH an avoidable amount of overhead (especially as a keyboard-only user) to try to attach the file, get an error message, go close the doc, reattach it and then go back and reopen the doc for future work. Now do all of that with 40 windows open and unable to use a mouse. Terrible #UX.
