.... to disk or USB...

Are you trying to save to removable media? You should _not_ do this from
within Word. Word scrambles files on removable media and sometimes unformats
a floppy drive. Within Word you should act as if your removable media drives
do not exist!

Otherwise, can you edit your document?
