Read Word document contents without Word VBO

Hey all,

For a process I'm building, I need to copy the contents of a Word file I downloaded. Each and every time I try to open the freshly downloaded file (using Word VBO - Open), my process get stuck in the object's 'Open Document' code stage. The reason the process gets stuck is because a 'File In Use' popup shows up, stating the file is locked for editing (which is weird). The process will only continue once either 'Ok' or 'Cancel' is clicked. I tried to automate this, but since the process gets stuck while IN a stage, I can't reach a new stage to call a press button object.

I have no idea how to proceed from here. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this issue or maybe circumvent the Word VBO? Manually opening the file works just fine.
