Are you saying you have a temp file instead of the document? If that's the
case then chances are you have a permissions issue. When you save a file a
temp file is created and the original deleted. Then the temp file is moved
to take the place of the original. If you don't have the necessary
permissions for the temp file then the Move is unable to take place. Here's
an article that contains the permissions you need in order to save and
modify files:

I have the same annoying problem with Office 2003 on Vista. Every time I
edit a file, a .tmp file shows up and moves the icon of the actual file I
was
working on. This makes it impossible to organize my icons.
This happens in folders too.
