Files corrupting on memory stick

[Mikoyan]

Vista SP1, Word 2003

I have a problem with Word files corrupting when I edit them on a memory
stick. Should I not be doing this? Is it better to copy them to my hard
drive?

Regards, Anastas.

You should also 'safely remove' (via the icon in the notifications area) the
stick before physically removing it to make sure its directory gets properly
written.

Thanks both of you for the swift response
