How do I stop files from opening as "Word Work File C_3.tmp."?

I have MS Word 2011 for Mac. Whenever I open a file that I have saved, it opens with the title "Word Work File C_3.tmp." To save whatever work or editing I want to do, I then have to go back to the saved file, pick up the actual title, go back to the document, then click on "Save As" to replace the "Word Work File C_3.tmp" with the original file name, then when I click "Save" the "Replace" query window comes up and I have to click on that. This has gotten to be a huge pain in netherly anatomical regions. How do I stop this from happening and get files to open with their proper names?

How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?

How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart? I want to wipe all open files, since that seems to be the most efficient way to close lots & lots of open files (that build up over the course of normal activities)

One way is to always quit all applications before you shut down.
An easy way to do this (although in my own experience it doesn't seem to always work perfectly) is to simply hit CMD + TAB + Q and hold down all three keys.
When you do that the computer will cycle through all open apps and close them. If there are any open files that haven't been saved, it won't close them. So you should save everything you want to save before you hit CMD + TAB + Q.

I use Apple Mail and dislike Outlook. If I create a note in Apple Mail, move it to desktop for easy access and then open the note, it opens in Outlook. How do I stop Outlook from opening? Do I need to uninstall Outlook? Will it disrupt other software?

Open Apple Mail, and open Preferences (under Mail in the Menu Bar). On the General tab, check the "Default Email Reader" and set it to Mail (6.6).

How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?

How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me. After all, iPhoto is the application that opens. You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

How can I stop ID from opening docs in full screen in ID 5.5?

You didn't answer the OS question, but I'm going to presume it's some version of OS X. This has been, I think, a common complaint among Mac users, but as a PC person I don't remember what exactly can be done about it, if anything. On thing you might want to try is using the Application Frame.

How can I stop Siri from speaking certain words as I text??? It is so annoying and unnecessary!

Actually, I did notice the thread age. However, this phenomenon only appeared with mu phone in the last week.
You and I both would hope that it was corrected long ago, but that is evidently not the case.
I added information that will be useful for anyone else encountering my recent situation, now or perhaps in some distant future.
If you are aggravated by notices re: threads over two years old, perhaps you should disengage from the thread in lieu of making
snarky remarks to those of us still getting useful information from them.

How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
'''File not found '''
Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
* Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
* Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
TRY AGAIN.

This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
[EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

Can you post the content of the user.js file in the current profile folder?
You can open the user.js file for inspection via the right-click context menu (do not double-click the file).
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

How do I stop finder from opening a new window every time I download an image (drag and drop)?

Before I updated my computer I could drag and drop a new image from the internet to wherever I wanted on the desktop. Now when I download a new image from the internet it opens the "Desktop" finder windo. Also it systematically downloads the new image to be placed underneath the last downloaded/organized file. How do I stop it from doing both of these things?

Try relaunching the Finder > Relaunch Finder… from the Mac OS X Finder

How do I stop Firefox from opening a new window when I go to a search item?

When I do a search, and click on a topic, Firefox opens a new window on the tool bar at the bottom of my screen. How can I stop this from happening?

I'm guessing you use Google for search. There is a setting in Google search to open each result in a new window. (When you use tabbed browsing, that means each result opens in a new tab.) You can check on whether you have that setting turned on as follows:
On a Google results page, click the button on the right side with the "gear" icon, then click Search Settings from the drop-down list. At the bottom of the page is the setting to open results in a new window.
Is that the culprit?
