backup file
everytime I open a file, a "ghost file" gets created which I then have to
delete. This file is in lighter letters. How do I stop this from happening? Thanks! |

If you mean the document's temporary file, then this is supposed to happen.
Leave it alone! If it remains after Word is closed then you can delete it - http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org brandyace wrote: everytime I open a file, a "ghost file" gets created which I then have to delete.

I open tons of files every day. Delete the "ghost" each time gets
time-consuming. "Graham Mayor" wrote: If you mean the document's temporary file, then this is supposed to happen. Leave it alone!

If it is not being deleted when you close the document, *then* you have a
problem. But the creation of the file is not a problem. -- Suzanne S.
