But, I of all people, should understand why its daft to change those particular fields whilst the RTF and or PDF is open for editing. Maybe its only Word and Acrobat - perhaps other editors (eg Sigil) don't hold any locks in which case...

A (write) Lock is a good idea as it keeps 2 people (sessions) from making changes to the same object.
Some programs offer to open a locked file in
read only mode (I wish Sigil could do this). Opening a second instance is useful for side-by-side reference/copying , but it is possible to get confused as wich is the one under edit (
