Microsoft Word Flash Drive Problem

[macuser1232]

Ok so whenever I create or edit a paper that is on my flash drive in Microsoft Word on my MacBook Pro I start getting these "Word Work File.tmp's" What are these? How do I stop this? Every time I create or edit anything I get these files and I have to delete them.

I'm pretty sure they're Word autosave files. If so you should be able to turn them off in Words' preferences.

Oh ok. That's good to know. Thanks!
