Fair enough. But what if one wants to save the file to a floppy disk so one
can transfer the file to another computer? (Where, of course, one will copy
it to the hard drive before working on it...)
I think the more pertinent point is that the OP has a Vista machine with a
floppy drive. Do they even make such a thing?
And if this is really the case, then why is this question being asked in the
Word NG when saving to a floppy drive is really a OS-level operation?
And if we can get past all that and make some assumptions - that the OP has
a Vista machine with a floppy drive and wants to save a _Word_ document to
floppy for whatever reason from within Word - then the question still stands:
How does one save a file to a floppy drive?
The answer is the same as it would be for saving to any other location: use
Save As and select the desired destination. Of course, the exactly steps for
doing this depend on the version of Word in use and the designation of the
floppy drive, and without this information it's not possible to provide a
more exact answer.

Never ever read from, write to, or print from floppy with Word. These are
the most certain methods of ensuring document corruption.
Copy to/from the hard disc and work on the document from there.
