How do I save a word document to a floopy disk?
Granny 3.1 was very recently heard
to utter: Funny, when I plug in my 2.0 gb drive it reads F:Travel Drive on My Computer. Perhaps "Travel drive" is a brand name? I'd screen capture it to prove it but I don't have to prove my self. Go to http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=travel+drives notice only the first one is called a pen drive, and it only holds 64 mbs the rest....42 before I got tired of counting (page 4) said "Travel Drives" perhaps someone besides you might be right. Of course searching for travel drives will return more "travel drives" than "flash drives" http://www.googlefight.com/index.php...flash+drive%22 Flash drive beats travel drive 55 to 1. Pen drive beats travel drive 19 to 1. Usb key beats travel drive 10 to 1. Even on your Memorex site it discontinued the Flash drives MY Memorex site? Huh? -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

How do I save a word document to a floopy disk?
Granny 3.1 was very recently heard
to utter: 3½-inch: Floppy is something of a misnomer for these disks, as they are encased in a rigid envelope. The disk platters themselves are floppy. In a hard drive, the platters are rigid metal. Despite their small size, microfloppies have a larger storage capacity than their cousins -- from 400K to 1.4MB of data. The most common sizes for PCs are 720K (double-density) and 1.44MB (high-density). That's from Dell.com quote your sources. All high-density floppies quote their capacity as 1.44MB. This is their UNFORMATTED capacity, and is quoted to make the numbers look larger. Once formatted, the File Allocation Table will take up a certain amount of space, and so the largest filesize storable on the disk will decrease. Simply format a disk in Windows and look at the "free space" in drive properties. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

They came from Windows machines.
Mike Granny 3.1 wrote: Probably came from a MAC. Mac's aren't compatible with Windows. As we all know some floppies even saved properly can become corrupted. It's rare but it happens. And even then 99% of the time it the user who saved its fault. Toodles "Mike Koewler" wrote: Don, yeah, I have a couple of writers who like to do that also. About once every couple of months, I get a "The Disk in Drive A is not formatted. Would you like to format it now?" error. Trust me, at some point one of your very important files will not open.

File Save as Then select the A drive and give the file a name and OK. -- Don Vancouver USA "Otis Abernathy" Otis wrote in message ... I have typed an important document in Word 2000 and when I click on the disk in the task bar or in the file "pull down" window which has the floppy disk image, nothing happens...it does not save even though I have an empty disk in the tower. Thanks for your help. |

Me too. Better a top poster than a bottom feeder.

Well, You certainly have the madder than a roomful of hatters part! |
