I've seen a ~ and a file name created when I edit a word document. As I
recall, sometimes that "file" goes away and sometimes it doesn't. In any
case, I'm curious to know the function of this file.

Thanks in advance,

Barb Reinhardt

Probably the "owner" file. See €œDescription of how Word creates temporary
files€�
