This relates primarily to Word and covers (to some extent) *all* removable
media. You should not save directly to them nor open directly from them.
Always work from the HD. There's even a setting on the Save tab of Tools |
Options to "Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drives."

In which case it is already corrupt reinforcing the advice never to
work
directly with a floppy disk (or any other removable media either).
When you say "or any other removable media either" are you including a
USB Flashdrive, as I used one of them to back-up my .dbx files. I made
a folder on the Flash Drive and copied my Identity into it from Windows
Folders. Or does your observation just relate to Word, only?
Thanks,
