= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Project, when you open a project that contains a publisher in mail, the edition file remains on your hard drive even if you close the file and choose not to save the changes.

= CAUSE =

This behavior occurs because an edition file is recreated any time the edition file is referenced. For example, when you open a file that contains a publisher, if the edition file is not available in the folder that contains the publishing file, it is recreated in this folder.

When you open a project file in a mail message, if the file contains a publisher, the edition file is referenced, and therefore created on the hard drive. This edition file remains on the hard drive even if you close the project file and choose not to save changes to the file. Note that in this case, the project file does not exist on your hard drive, but only in the mail message in which it was sent.

= WORKAROUNDS =

To work around this problem, after you close the file that contains the publisher in mail, delete the edition file by dragging the file to the Trash.
