Send To ~WRD0005.doc
I have an end-user who uses Sent To (i.e., File\Send To\Mail Recipient (as
attachment)) in Word 2003. The attached file will display as ~WRD005.doc regardless of what the original file name is. I have thought of this as template file issue by deleting normal.dot. It did not resolve the issue. Please advise. Thank you. |

Send To ~WRD0005.doc
The user attached the "ownership" file, this means they tried to attach a
Word file that was still open, that itself can cause problems, or they have another problem with Word not deleting these files automatically upon AppClose. The ~$ file is an "owner" file that Word creates for each Word document you open. It is normal behaviour for Word, and you can't stop Word from doing it. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211632 "Description of how Word creates temporary files" for more information. But you can stop Windows from displaying the temporary files by starting Windows Explorer or My Computer and clicking on Tools | Folder Options | View tab | select the "Do not show hidden files and folders" radio button | OK.

Dean,
Everything you've said is correct. However... If I understand the OP correctly, the problem is not that the user is attaching a temp file to an email and the OP is confused about what this file is and where it came from. Rather it's that when using the "File | Send To - Mail Recipient (as Attachment)" functionality within Word, Word is *not* attaching the open document; it's attaching the temp file instead. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to this problem, but I thought I'd post anyway on the off chance that someone who does have the answer will notice and lend a hand. -- Cheers!

Gordon, thanks for the comment, you are right and after sending the reply I
re-read the posting and came to the same conclusion and am looking into this - without much success :-( Ciao DeanH "Gordon Bentley-Mix on news.microsoft.com" wrote: Dean, Everything you've said is correct.
