Sounds like normal Word behavior to me. Word uses temp files extensively. The actual document (.doc) that we think of in a Word document is only the final product of all of these temp files put together. They are hidden temp files, though. So, if you turn off showing hidden files and folders, then they should disappear.

Forgot to add:
I took 2 of the powerpoint files that I created on his machine, that were also causing this issue, and opened them up on another machine. One was in 2007 format and the other was in 97-2003 format. Opened, edited, saved and no tmp files were created on the other machine.
