You won't see them in Word's File Open and Save dialogs if you have the file
type set to All Word Documents rather than All Files. I don't think you can
hide them in Windows Explorer (except perhaps by hiding Hidden and System
files, though I think that affects just the temp files).

i like the idea of backing up my files, but the backups cause a lot of
clutter. is there a way of hiding them?
