Default Why do I suddenly get "Directory of file cannot be created"

All of a sudden, after innumerable saves to a USB backup and to a Zip 100, I
cannot SAVE TO nor SEND a Word file to a USB back-up.

I get the message DIRECTORY OR FILE CANNOT BE CREATED

or CANNOT COPY.

What has happened?

Hi ?B?VGVycmVuY2UgTG9zIEFuZ2VsZXM=?=,

Apparently, no one who frequents this group knows. Try asking in
word.setup.networking and/or office.setup, perhaps someone there has an idea.

I got around the problem by opening up a New File Folder in the USB storage
device and in the Zip Drive Storage device - and the same-name New File
Folder in Word on my hard drive. Now I can back-up these files.

It is not The Answer but at least is works.
