Do a search of your entire system for the following:

~$

When you open a doc in Word, a temp file is created. This temp file may have some portion of the original filename in it. It will also have the tilde mark in the filename (~).
You might also just search for the tilde mark. The temp file may show up.

Good luck.

Thank you--will this be done in Explorer? I get an error message when I try to open that.

I'll try the "temp files" folders.
