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

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).
