Word Documents Autosaving in weird format
Hi,
As of recently my computer has taken to automatically creating an additional version of Word documents (I am using Word 2003). The additional version starts with ~$ So for example if I was working on the a document called kathywork.doc, the computer will also automatically create a version called ~$thywork.DOC. If I try to open the automatically created document, then the File Conversion box pops up. Any ideas on how to prevent these additional docs from saving themselves? They are cluttering up my files. -- Kathy |

Word Documents Autosaving in weird format
This is the owner file; see "Description of how Word creates temporary
files" http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211632 I think you won't see it if you don't have hidden and system files displayed, but it is quite normal and necessary. It's the "lock" file that prevents anyone else from opening the document for editing while you're working on it. -- Suzanne S.
