working on a word 2003 document and saving creates problems ie when you save
it on a removable drive you get a message that drive is full even though the
document is much smaller. when you then look what is saved on the drive you
get lots of ~w.......tmp or ~$...doc files added on which take up a lot of
memory. how can you overcome this problem.

Easy. NEVER EVER save directly to a removable drive. Save to your hard
drive. Then use Windows Explorer or your CD burner software to copy to the
removable drive.

If all you got was a message that the drive was full, you got off lightly. A
corrupt document is not uncommon, and a corrupt medium is a not unusual
either.
