Pipe File Mapping Temp File in Open Office

Hello folks,

I'm a new user of Open Office Writer, I've noticed that whenever I open a .doc file, Writer creates a temp file with the name:

Pipe_File_Mapping_OSL_Pipe_UserName_SingleOfficeIPC_bf4ca6xxxxxxx...

What is this? What does it do? If someone could educate me and increase my knowledge somewhat, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
