Default Is it ok to print a Word document from a USB flash drive?

The answer is certainly no. Word makes use of various temporary files as it
works (excuse pun). Saving to portable media is invariably too slow and
files get easily corrupted. You *may* be OK loading *from* but why not just
get into the habit of copying to the main hard drive and always working from
there?

Based on what is said in the groups, that it is not safe to work on a
document on a removable medium, but that we should copy the document to
the
hard disk and work on it there, I suppose the answer to my question will
be
no. But I just wanted to be sure.
