I have had this same problem all along with Word 3. I agree that it is very
poor practice to not allow the user any further operations on the involved
volume until Word has been shut down. It seems I am always starting and
stopping Word, just so I can shuffle a few disks and work on the variety of
files which my work requires. (Thank goodness for On Cue!)
Anyone found any patches or workarounds?
