Please help me.

Thanks

It is never a good idea to save directly from Word to any type of removable
media (for a variety of reasons that others will provide), but this has not
actually generated an error until recently. Recent updates to Windows 2000
and (I think) Windows XP caused this problem. This issue is fixed in Update
Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4 - v2 and presumably in a comparable update for
Windows XP.

If you want to be able to use your documents, when working within Word, act
as if your floppy drive does not exist! (This applies to CDRW/CDR drives as
well.)
Don't use Word to:
Open a document on a floppy
Print a document on a floppy
Edit a document on a floppy
Save a document to a floppy (not even a copy)

Word regularly trashes documents on floppy drives!

Instead, work on the document using your hard drive. Copy it back and forth
using Windows.

I know that for some with shared computers (libraries, schools) this is a
tough prescription. All I can recommend for that is to use a brand new
formatted disk each time you save and don't do any editing.
