Hi. I'm trying to figure out merging cell values into bookmarks of a Word doc. Watching a few videos and attempting to replicate, but the referenced Word doc continues to open with a prompt to either be Read Only, Save a copy, Get notified when.... The prompt also indicates I'm the one locking it. I don't see the video peeps having this issue, so I'm puzzled. Maybe someone has an answer for me...

VBA Code:
'Just a snippet
Dim WordApp As Word.Application
Dim WordDoc As Word.Document
Dim DocLoc As String

Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Add

DocLoc = "C:\Users\Test\Desktop\ExcelStuff\WordMerge\Test1.docx"

Set WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Open(DocLoc, , ReadOnly:=False)

Appreciate any help here. TIA
Lewis
