Publisher creates pub####.tmp files

[Greg Hill]

Hello.

Publisher 2000 is creating temporary files on the root of
the network drive where someone is editing .pub files. I
think it's doing it on the 'Remind to save publisher
files' box. Anyway, it's weird because the user could be
working in a buried subfolder on the network drive, and it
will still create the .tmp file on the root of the network
drive. Can this be stopped or else can I direct
those .tmp files to the user's hard drive? Thanks in
advance.
