STM32Cube IDE could not save <Word document>

I added a folder called Docs to my project, then created release notes using Word and dropped in the newly created Docs folder. When I try to build, I get a message box:

How do I fix this?

Doh! And a face palm, too!! At some point, I tried opening the Word document by double-clicking it; I vaguely remember that nothing happened. However, as I was closing editor tabs just now, I noticed an empty editor tab for the file, and an asterisk indicating that it needed to be saved. I closed the tab, without saving, of course, and now the project builds flawlessly. Sorry for the fire drill.

What version STM32CubeIDE?

I was able to follow what you've done and I can build with no issues.

Show your project tree and where Docs and file is located.

If you FIFO doesn't work, then it's called GIGO.

You can see 'Well Status Monitor Release Notes.docx' in the 'Docs' folder. I do not have Word open.
