--- Comment #2 from Vincent Povirk <[email protected]> ---
The procedure you describe would only test Wine and your network filesystem
(but it would be a good test for those things). Step 4 should show that someone
else has the file open for writing and Word will only open it in read-only
mode.

Also, this only applies to .DOC files, not .DOCX.

I have not tested this scenario but I am guessing you will see the problem
without Wine if you follow this procedure:

1. Create a .doc file in LO on Linux and save it to the network share.
2. With the .doc file on the network share still open in LO on Linux, try to
access it in Word on Windows.

The ideal result of step 2 would be to get a warning that someone else has the
file open for writing, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect that level
of compatibility from LO. Locking only the bytes I mentioned should prevent
Word from opening the file at all. I suspect that currently step 2 will hang
word until LO has closed the file.
