Share Violation When Opening Included File in Windows NotepadLast reviewed: July 30, 1997Article ID: Q78794 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYIf you attempt to open a file in Windows Notepad that is included in a Microsoft Word for Windows document while that Word document is open, a sharing violation occurs. If the Word document is not open, this error does not occur. This problem occurs when the file is linked and when it is not linked. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for Windows.
MORE INFORMATIONMost other Microsoft applications (for example, Windows Write, Works for Windows, and Word for MS-DOS) allow you to open the included file in Windows Notepad while the Word document is open without receiving a sharing violation.
WorkaroundClose the Word for Windows document, and open the text file in Notepad. You can then edit and save the Notepad file. If the text file was linked, the Word document will update without generating a sharing violation.
