*.TMP files
Why would Word XP create many, many *.TMP files of a document that is being worked on? By many,
many, I mean ten to twenty files. The document is accessed through a mapped drive on a server. -- Remove "nospam_" from my email address to email me. |

It depends partly on what you're doing with the document and what it contains. The article at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211632 explains how Word uses temp files. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

In my experience, a new file is created each time you save, and each one is
one version back (the previous version if you don't have "Automatically create backup" enabled, the one before that if you do). All should be deleted when you close the document. -- Suzanne S.
