with a dollar sign in front of a word doc title ginger8990 12/20/2005 1:37:03 AM Somehow MS word with a $ sign in front of a the name of the word . If you open it up, it is all garbage and unreadable. I did reinstall and upgrade from office Xp to office 2003, it still didn't work. Anyone know what problem it is? Many thanks!

Your actual Word file should be in the same folder, but without a ~$ in front of the name. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211632 "Description of how Word creates temporary files" for more information. ginger8990 wrote: [Quoted Text] > Somehow MS word with a $ sign in front of a the name of the word .

RE: with a dollar sign in front of a word doc title ginger8990 12/20/2005 3:31:03 PM Many thanks but later I found out ~$ name with doc extension not temp extension.
