Ah! Never work Word with any type of removable media. It is the number 1 way
to lose/corrupt documents and mess up Word. Always copy to/from the local
HDD before working a document in Word.
You may have left something strange on the HDD or you may have left some bad
temp files still affecting Word. Seehttp://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htmfor a guide to
cleaning out then temp files. Then run a full SCANDISK to see if there is a
problem on the HDD.

thank you, Terry. I should also have mentioned that when I was first
loading it up a month ago, I withdrew a USB key without closing it.
Word was open at the time, and the docs I was loading vanished
utterly. I wonder if I created an error on the hard disk?
Thanks for the battery info. You hear SO many different things. dax
thanks for the link, Terry. useful stuff indeed - dax
