As JoAnn implies, Word is really saving you from yourself, as it is never
advisable to save directly to a floppy drive (it's one of the top three
causes of document corruption). Save to the HD first and then Copy or Send
(or drag, as you are already doing) to the floppy.

Okay, this is weird one. Microsoft Word (Office 2000 on Windows 2000)
will
no longer allow me to "save as" to the 3.5 inch drive. The drive has been
checked by a tech. It does work. In fact, I made a shortcut on the
desktop
for the 3.5 inch drive. I'm able to drag word documents into the shortcut
and into the disc.

So, when I "save as" to the 3.5 inch drive the computer locks up and will
only restart with a hard reboot.

I reinstalled Office 2000 and still have the problem.

How do I fix this without reinstalling my operating system?

Can anyone help?
