Never save a file directly to removeable media. Never open a file on
removeable media. Always copy your file to your hard drive before you work on it, save it to the hard drive, then use Windows Explorer to transfer it over to your media. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "cindy" wrote in message ...

Did you try browsing the files on the device through your OS instead
of through Word? If you find the file that way you can double-click on it to open it. File name changes can be confusing for Word because it is literal when looking for something. Oh, and the advice about saving to you hard drive first is absolutely correct; never trust portable storage for permanent data!
