Jeff, did you ever solve your problem opening PDF files in Explorer? I suddenly have the same problem in BOTH Explorer and Mozilla Firefox: whenever I try to open a PDF file in either browser, the program freezes and I have to stop running the browser. Thanks in advance -- Ken

Thanks, byundt, for your post.

Dear XlHelp -- thanks again for your time. Not that it helped; I read the three articles and one seemed on the mark, but the advice it gave was baffling (or not meant for Word 97). It contained this: "It should be noted that you will only see the TMP temporary files if you have the Files of...

Thanks again for the help, xl. But I'm not sure you entirely understood: every time I save a file, a new Temp file is created. I.e., if I work on a document all day and save it forty times, I have forty versions of it running AT ONCE. I believe there should only be ONE version (the latest) of...

Dear XLHelp and Fumei -- thanks very much for your help. The problem has ALMOST been solved by not allowing Fast Saves: my files are much much smaller, which is great. However, a new problem has now appeared. EACH time I save a WORD 97 file I'm working on, a new file begins running, each one...

Dear Byundt -- thanks so much for replying to my email. However, when I renamed my old normal.dot file(s) as normal.old, the same thing happened again: the normal.dot file is only 19,000 bytes, but as soon as I save anything longer than a line, the file size zooms up to a half million, and...

Have a problem, would love some help. Every time I save a WORD 97 file, it immediately becomes huge. Example: I save a file with four words in it, it's 19,000 bytes; but if I hit Enter and add another six words, it is suddenly 425,000 bytes! A couple of pages takes about 15 seconds to save...
