Default Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environmental

Sometimes when I open Word I get the error message - "Word could not create
the work file. Check the temp environmental variable" - When this happens
sometimes unusual things happen like lockup or won't save. How can I check
temp environmental variable?

Answered in another newsgroup (I'll let you try to figure out which one).
When you post the same question to different newsgroups, isn't it difficult
to try to keep track of when/if it's answered? It's kind of like calling
six different libraries and asking each the same research question. So, you
might have 5 different librarians trying to find the answer to a question
that a 6th librarian has already answered. It doesn't seem like the most
efficient or the most courteous way to solicit help.

perhaps the reason why he is posting here is because he cannot find
the answer in other groups. hmmmm if u look at other groups none of
them relate to vista or word 2007, all are xp and word 2003. perhaps
the reason he is having a problem is because he is not as computer
savy. mabye cant find the other groups. if you wont answer him then
dont post anything. i have the same exact problem as him and am
looking for help with my version. yes i tried the other versions
advice and it did not work. what you are doing is being an ass.

The Word groups, including this one, apply to all Word versions. What is not
acceptable, and which Herb was alluding to, was posting the same question to
a variety of groups, without linking the messages, which creates an
unwelcome duplication of effort for those of us who regularly answer
questions. If Herb has, as indicated, already posted a reply in another of
the Word groups, then Google will help you (and the OP) locate the thread -
though presumably the latter knows where he posted the questions?

See if this helps:

You clearly didn't understand the point. The other person had posted the
IDENTICAL question in multiple newsgroups. If you don't understand the
problem and inconsideration of doing that, then perhaps you've found the
perfect noun to describe yourself.
