Does anyone know why Word would add some file properties (?) to the end of every file saved? It allows you to delete this stuff but it adds it back every time you save a file. Below is an example of what it adds to the end of the file:

Normal
Normal
Default Paragraph Font
Default Paragraph Font
C:\windows\temp\autorecovery save of filename.asd
Times New Roman
Symbol

etc etc....

Any ideas?? Thanks!

J: You goof! (Sorry, can't help it!) You're opening the file with the "recover text from any file" option!

Thanks for your help---this didn't happen to me, someone else had the problem and asked me about it. They gave me a sample of what printed out. I was not in front of their computer or I might have noticed the problem-- I had never had it happen to me!

I just have to laugh, J. The way you described it. Most people ask "where does it come from" but you said Word keeps putting it back in there. I guess you had to be on my side. I'm not laughing at you, tho. I listen to people all day and it's good to get a chuckle once in a while. Thank you!
