I have to have the word documents I write but when I go back and look at them some look like ghosts and are classified as TMP files, as I don't know what these are and I really NEED the documents in full does anyone have an idea on how to solve this? ~WRL1371.tmp for example or WRL0702.tmp is a vital document for me! What is going on and how can you help me? Kind Regards in Advance, Pete |

This happens to me, but they go away once you close word (well they do on word 2003)
I have never tried deleting them (but ill try right now with a sample word document) OK i tried it, but i only get one temp file and its not renamed .tmp, its just the word document with a tilda (~) in front of it and hidden. It deleted itself once i closed word. I would just ignore them, and if they really annoy you, go into Folder options and uncheck "Show hidden files" Ghost-looking file icons means that the file is hidden, so if you view these types of files, then you have hidden files shown. -------------------- Website: http://web.ruibranco.com/~lhamil64

Thanks all,
The local computer shop expert said if I wanted to get back a file marked as tmp to open it and save it in word document then delete the shadow like tmp file. I had lost some of my work to this weird tmp thing but have all files back now and have got myself a computer stick! Kindly, Pete
