Word 03 - temp files all over desktop

[davo]

why has word suddenly started to populate my desktop with a new temp file
each time I save? eg ~WRL1252.tmp

Hi Davo,

If you're saving the files to your desktop (not usually the ideal location)
and you have set your Windows Explorer Folder options to show hidden files you will probably be seeing some of the temp files that
Word uses.
This article explains a bit more about how Word works with temp files:
