MS Word 2.0 won't save files under Warp...

Hi. I'm running the Warp Red pack with WIN-OS2 installed (using WFW 3.11)
and when running MS Word-for-Windows 2.0 (I know, I know, but it was a 
left over from Windoze and it's still a very good WP :-) ) I can't save open 
files after editing. 

The only way is to delete the file and start again :-(. If I open a file, edit it
and try to save it (telling it to overwrite the original) an OS/2 dialog box 
comes up with the message "Sharing Violation on Drive D: <Cancel> <Retry>".

Is there a solution to this (other than saving the file under a different file-name,
deleting the original and then renaming the new file? I've not come across this
with any other apps...so far...and I've been running Warp with virtually no 
problems for nearly 8 months.

I'm guessing that other apps must first close the original file before overwriting
it with the copy in memory but that Word isn't doing this. Of course I may be
way off the beam with this assumption too.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated (but don't bother telling me to change
to another word processor - I can't afford that option at this stage).

TIA.
Rodney Baker.

PS Email replies would be appreciated rather than news postings if possible
as I don't read Usenet News all that often and may miss replies. Thanks.
