"Disk is full or too many files open"
I am trying to save a file on a flash and floppy disk. I keep getting the
message in Word that the disk is full or too many files are open. Neither are true. I am not sure what the problem is. Help! Sandy |

Never save directly. Save it to your hard drive and then copy it over to the
flash/floppy. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Sandy" wrote in message ... I am trying to save a file on a flash and floppy disk. I keep getting the message in Word that the disk is full or too many files are open. Neither are true. I am not sure what the problem is. Help! Sandy |

"Disk is full or too many files open"
If you want to be able to use your documents, when working within Word, act
as if your floppy drive does not exist! (This applies to CDRW/CDR drives as well.) Don't use Word to: Open a document on a floppy Print a document on a floppy Edit a document on a floppy Save a document to a floppy (not even a copy) Word regularly trashes documents on floppy drives! Instead, work on the document using your hard drive. Copy it back and forth using Windows. I know that for some with shared computers (libraries, schools) this is a tough prescription. All I can recommend for that is to use a brand new formatted disk each time you save and don't do any editing. -- 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.
