Re: Working without a Word work file - Word 2003 / Outlook 2003

We have encountered this issue in some labs that are running Word
2003(sp3) on XP(sp2) in a Server 2003 AD domain. We have drastically
restricted the users' rights to these computers. These users are not
in a position to be assigned rights as "power users". They can use
Word normally for a while, then a dialog displays informing the user,
"Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment
variable." The user is able to continue working but shortly
thereafter receives the, "working without a Word work file..." error.
I'm guessing I just have the restrictions too tight, but I need to
know exactly what to change, because, as I mentioned, these users
cannot be given more permissions.
