Default Cannot open floopy disk in Word

The observation only relates to Word - though I would not reply solely on a
Flash Drive for anything that is mission critical as they are not
invulnerable to corrupting or dying and the data does have a limited life.
It would be better to back up to a CDR or DVDR and use verify to ensure they
files are correctly written.

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,
