Too many temp files with Office 2007

[Kev]

When I changed the save option for my office products (Word, Excel, etc.) to
save in 2003 office format (.xls, .doc, etc.), my system started creating a
large number of temp files when documents were being saved.

My attempts to use Disk Cleanup under System Tools does not seem to be able
to get rid of them either.

1. Is there any way to prevent the excessive number of temp files form being
created?
2. AND is there a way to automatically delete them so that they do not fill
up my file folders.

they look like this B6B1C2B1.tmp

Do you have auto-save enabled?
