Is the document in a location where you have write permissions? Is the document open in Word already?

There you have it then - the problem is with the Word document (or the folder where it's saved) rather than with the Flare conversion.

Can you save the document to a different location and then try to import it? If that works then you'll need to either use the new location or speak to someone techie at your end to give you the relevant permissions to write in the folder where the Word doc needs to be.

Hope that helps.
