Just wondering... not a serious problem yet:
Microsoft Word creates a temp file called "Word Temp XX" where XX is
an incrementing number every time you work with a document. I've noticed
that my SYstem folder tends to fill up with "Word Temp 1" through "Word
Temp 45" over time. (45 or some other big number).
So my question is: under what conditions does Word fail to clean up
these temp files? Is this because I'm lazy and run Shutdown fromm
MultiFinder without quitting Word first? (Mac SE/20, sys6.02).
If I quit Word some other day, will it look for all the older
Word Temp files and dlete them, or does it lose track?
TIA.
