how do I format a removable disc without losing my files?
I would advise you to ask in a newsgroup about your operating system (as in
Windows XP). This group is about Microsoft Word. All the advice I can give you about Word is to not use removable media with Word. Use Word with the hard drive and then copy files to removable drives and back. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "yasmin esack" yasmin wrote in message ...

how do I format a removable disc without losing my files?
Formatting a disc will remove the files or access to them. Are these files
on a floppy that you have been using directly with Word? If so you will eventually corrupt the disc and get a message that the disc is unformatted. You may be able to recover some of the files with file recovery software. Never ever read from, write to, or print from floppy with Word. These are the most certain methods of ensuring document corruption. Copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there. This is equally relevant to other removable media such as CDRW. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org yasmin esack wrote: Looking for assistance in formatting a disc that has files |
