SUMMARY
This article describes how to turn on the Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drives setting in Microsoft Office Word 2003. By default, this setting is turned off when you install Word.

When you turn on the Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drives, Word temporarily stores a local copy of a file that you store on a network or removable drive. When you save the local copy, Word saves your changes to the original copy. If the original file is not available, Word prompts you to save the file in another location.

 * 1) Start Word (if it is not already started).
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Options.
