    Hi
    Windows XP MSWord 2003.
    I got an error message when trying to save a file that I have created over 1 year ago and resaved (i.e. save as) many times.

    I cannot recall wording but error was not on a blue screen.
    "Saving as" with a new name solved the problem and the error-creating file currently is normal now.
    MSWord created 2 files and I think they are okay to delete but want to make sure:
    they are:
    ~WRL0329.tmp
    and
    ~WRL3763.tmp.

    Thank you

    These are Word temporary files (of the .doc in question) which would normally be deleted automatically when closing Word - if Word crashes or shuts down improperly they are retained and may be safely deleted.
