Floppy disc problem

It is all down to the way Word creates its file when saved: it writes to
and from the active folder building up the document structure and because
of the slow speed of floppy drives (and many USB drives), causes Word to
corrupt. Also pulling out a floppy or USB drive before closing the
document and Word can cause all sorts of other problems when Word tries to
remove temporary files.
Also the capacity of the floppy, because Word will create the temporary
working copy in the same folder. At 1.4 MB floppy capacity, it's only very
small or plain text documents that are safe...
