name of file changes to a "~WRD"

L

I see the name change at the top left corner of the
document, right after it says "Microsoft Word." After I
create a new file, shortly it will change from something
like f123103r to ~WRD1388. I am familiar with temporary
files and that Word creates these, but I have never had a
document just change to that while I am working on the
document. What I have to do is save file, then "save as"
and name it what I originally named it. It will ask me if
I want to replace, and I will click yes. This happens
with every file I create. This has only been happening
for a few weeks, so this is new. I have been working with
Microsoft Word for years and years, and I have not had
this before. I checked Explorer, and I do not have it
checked to display hidden files. Thanks for any help.
