Option to omit "File is busy - skipping"-behaviour

Talk, speculate, discuss, pontificate. As long as it pertains to Hazel.

I'd like to have an option to run over the "File ... is busy. Skipping for now." behaviour.
MSWord keeps the document open within an editing session, but i´d like to copy the file after every modification.
An operating system "cp" does the work, so it is no problem to save in Word and initialize the copy process - if Hazel wouldn`t complain ...

It's not a good idea to do that as it could results in corrupt files. Note that if (and it's a big "if" when it comes to MS) Word implements Apple's APIs, it should have automatic file versioning (it automatically keeps a trail of modifications).
