Well, I created a batch file with the command:

gpg -r <groupname> --encrypt <filename>

When I execute this batch file it actually does what I need provided
that the file is not open in MS Word. If it is then there is a very
strange error message about an illegal argument...

Funnily, if I use PGA to encrypt the doc file while MSWord has it
open, then encryption works just fine.
Is there a gpg option to open the file in read-only mode such that I
don't get this error?
