SYMPTOMS
When you try to save copies of a Microsoft Word document to multiple floppy disks, you may receive the following error messages on the second and subsequent attempts to save:

Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error.

When you try to save again, you may receive the following error message:

Check the drive to make sure the door is closed and it contains the correct disk or CD.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the original Word document that you want to save to multiple floppy disks.
 * 2) On the File menu, click Save As.
 * 3) In the Save As dialog box, click Desktop in the Save in list box, and then click Save.
 * 4) On the File menu in Word, click Close to close the Word document.
 * 5) Place the first floppy disk in the floppy drive.
 * 6) Minimize all windows.
 * 7) On the desktop, right-click the document that you saved in steps 2 through 3, point to Send To on the shortcut menu, and then click 3 1/2 Floppy (A:).
 * 8) When the document is saved, replace the floppy disk in the drive with the next disk, and then repeat steps 5 through 7.
