Re: Word backup copies on IFS

Hi Rob,
MS Word is a bit dirty and does not always clean up after itself. Also there is nowhere (to my knowledge) in MS Word where you can specify a folder to use for temporary files or automatic backups etc... So, there is not much that can be done in Word.
Find another word processor - if you can - I use Open Office and haven't noticed this problem 




The links below explain the way MS Word uses temporary files:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q89247/     (for older versions)

You will however not find there the reason why MS Word is dirty.


Surprise!

Best wishes
