Saved files have %20 for spaces

One of our users has a problem with every file they save. They are running Windows 98 2nd Ed. with Office XP Professional. When they save or retrieve files, all the files have the web designation (%20) for spaces. So a file saved as "my file.doc" looks like "my%20file.doc". Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
 
They are not saving the files as html files.
Thanks
 
20 is the Hex value for a space in AscII

I have no idea why shows as %20 in the file name, normally of course its just a blank or space.

If you do a Find and enter my file.doc, is the file found?

No, it does not find any documents unless you enter the %20
