How to stop the Word.DOCs generated by the server using the "_files" folders?

Question

I have a Word.DOCument created by a server (classic ASP). This is an HTML file that is output as .DOC using the application content type / msword. The document is created perfectly, saves a fine, opens perfectly in Word and is fully editable ...

The problem occurs the next time you save the document in Word. A folder is created in the document directory with the name "<file_name> _files " - as if you were saving a web page in IE. Inside this folder are three files colorschememapping.xml, filelist.xmland themedata.thmx. This happens when the document is first created using IE or Firefox.

-> How can I prevent the creation of these _files when saved in Microsoft Word?

( stream : users click the link in the browser, save (.doc) as ..., open .doc in the MS Word folder, edit, save → "_files")

Answer 1

If your result is not too complicated, try using RTF. I had a decent success outputting RTF files with the extension .doc.

Answer 2

This does not only come from generating a file from Firefox / IE. Microsoft Word 2007 does this when editing any HTML file and saving.

The problem is that if you delete the directory, the HTML file will also be deleted.

My workaround:

• Edit the file in plain Word
• Save file
• ( Word )
• " " → .

HTML _files.

Answer 3

Word 2007 2010 HTML, . HTML.

The only way I found is to create a real Word Doc without its HTML-based, or the user has the option to "Single Web Page File" when they do "Save As."

Remove to trash. This removes both the word doc and the unwanted folder. Recover the word doc and then take out the basket.
