saving documents

[Beth]

When I save a document it saves a good copy but it also copies one which does
not have anything in it but the name of the document with and *&^$&%&# in it.
It is like a false document. How can I get it to save a good copy and not
this other one and why is it doing it.

These are not documents but owner files. See “Description of how Word
creates temporary filesâ€
