I've just noticed that some of the excel spreadsheets I have recently been using now seem to also have a duplicate .tmp file created.
Can anyone help explain whats going on?

They should go when you stop editing the document. Its the way office works i think its to help stop courruption if your computer suddenly looses power, not 100% sure though. Same will happen for word documents too.0
