ANY program that has the file open will block.

FWIW I use sometimes use Libre office, Notepad++, ebook_viewer (p/o calibre) together. If I make a mistake and leave open the same file, I get a save error. Simply closing the other allows the save. Just because a program does not allow EDITS, does not mean it does not lock a file.
