| Why does Excel and Power create lock files and Word does not? Why does Excel and Power create lock files when you open a file and Word does not? We have a location on the network in which user have file creation rights but do not have delete rights. So what happens now is the user open up Excel or PowerPoint it creates the lock file example: ~$test with auto save.xlsx. The files stay out there and never get deleted unless manually from the server side. When a user opens a Word document the files are not created. I want to know why? Is there a way to turn the lock file creation off?      |

| Re: Why does Excel and Power create lock files and Word does not? Word do this also. Perhaps you have set the Word documents to be cached locally?
