If you don't want to see the temporary files, then tell Windows not to
display hidden files. You won't then know if they have not been cleared up
in the event of a problem, but you won't see them.

Are you saying you have a temp file instead of the document? If that's the
case then chances are you have a permissions issue. When you save a file a
temp file is created and the original deleted. Then the temp file is moved
to take the place of the original. If you don't have the necessary
permissions for the temp file then the Move is unable to take place. Here's
an article that contains the permissions you need in order to save and
modify files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/277867
