Cannot attach Word document while it's open - File in use Posted by Olivia Rust on 03 July 2025 17:27
If you encounter this error with Word files specifically, the issue might be the Privacy settings in your Microsoft Office apps. Disable all the "Connected Experiences" in the Privacy Settings of Word (or another Office program this applies to), and you will be able to attach open Word files again.
