You cannot lock a file that is currently open. The reason is that
Subversion needs to change attributes of the file (remove the
read-only attribute), but it cannot access the file, because it is
already open by MS Word.
Thus the "Cannot access" message.
I think that this problem can be solved by closing and reopening the
document. I mean that the macro should do the following:
1. Get the path of the active document
2. Close the document
3. Run the lock command
4. Open the document
Also, the path to TortoiseProc can be read from the registry (look at
HKLM\Software\TortoiseSVN). Do not know about 64-bit versions, though.
