Word file
Hi,
I'm having issues with MS Word 2002. Everytime I open any documents, it'll create a ghost or image of the document I just opened. When I'm done with the document and save and exit it, the ghost image of the document still remains on the desktop and I'm unable to delete it. Please let me know if there's a way to resolve this. Thanks |

Word file
Word creates *temporary* files, not "ghost images". Some of them are
required to be in the same folder as the document being edited -- if you store documents on the desktop and edit them there, the temp files will also be on the desktop. The article at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211632 explains what the temp files are for. If you don't want to see the temp files, simply store the documents in some other folder. Word defaults to using the My Documents folder unless you use the Tools Options File Locations dialog to point the documents folder somewhere else. The temp files will still be there, but you won't have to see them unless you open the folder in Windows Explorer. Word is supposed to delete temp files when you close the document you're editing. If Word crashes, and sometimes for other reasons, the temp files remain in place. See http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm for a cleanup procedure. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
