Microsoft Word saves in ~WRL#### not regular documents

J

How can I stop Mirosoft Word (XP) from saving in "~WRl####" ? It will
not save in regular form. Then It can not be opened. And sometimes it
disappears. This happens as I am working on a document and when I go
to just "save" or when I click "save as". Sometimes it says it is a
protected document and can not be saved or changed. It's my original
writting !!! Help???

Do you have Fast Saves enabled (Tools | Options | Save)? If so, disable it.
It is one of the three top causes of document corruption.
