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

Second, I don't know what's up with that "not safe". Editing a

than editing it on your computer's hard drive.


Actually, Stan, this is incorrect when it comes to Word. Every time a
document is opened and edited, Word creates a lot of temporary files in
the same location as the original file.


"A lot of temporary files"? I've never seen more than one (when
editing a Word doc that's on my desktop). Are you sure there are "a
lot"?
