MS Office 2003

When working in MS Offfice ( espicall word). I edit a file and save it under another file name i notice it creates a temp file. When i exit out of the application it still keeps those temp files on my machine.



Any suggestions on what would cause this ?

its something like that!

office utilizes the temp file in place of your original. after you save, the changes are applied from the temp to your original.
when you open a file, a temp is created and i believe you got the point!

hey, your ms office cache is nothing compared to your internet cache (if you browse a lot).

I'm not absolutely sure about this, but I think it might be due to a setting in Word. Take a look under Tools, Options, Save, and see whether the box for Always create backup copy is checked. If so, uncheck it and see whether that changes this behavior.
