All of a sudden all of my Excel 2007 files have a ~ followed by several
numbers after the ~. What happened or what change did I make to cause
this?

I guess after looking at my description of the problem I did not make it clear that the ~ plus Alphanumeric characters are appended to the end of the file name, after xlss file type.
I also have the problem that I did not address in that when I go to open the
files that are named normally I get the message that the file type does not
match the file, do you want to open it anyway? I do open the files and they
are normal as best as I can tell. Any other ideas on these two abnomalies
that just started recently after I have been using the 2007 excel for several
months.
