Default Is it ok to print a Word document from a USB flash drive?

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 23:10:40 -0500 from Suzanne S. Barnhill
:
There is one file for sure (the ~$ owner file), but there are frequently
also numerous ~$wrlxxx.tmp files, one for each save (or each save after the
first if you are creating *.wbk backup files). I'm never sure why these are
created--it may have to do with copying and pasting--but each is a complete
copy of a previous saved version of the document, so if your file is quite
large, each of these will be about the same size. They are (normally)
deleted when you close the document.


Suzanne, a request:

If you're going to put your quoted material after your signature,
please don't use the "-- " signature delimiter. That prevents
standard-conforming newsreaders, like Gravity, from quoting the
previous material, and users must laboriously copy/paste to preserve
context. Thanks!
