Word Adding % Symbol When Saving File

[Ray H.]

Hello Everyone,

I am using Word 2003 and it is adding the a % (Percent)
symbol in the file name. This is happening when a file is
saved to the floppy drive. Can anyone help?

Never save Word documents directly to a floppy! Corruption is inevitable:
sooner or later (usually sooner) you will LOSE THE DOCUMENT. Save to your
hard drive then use Explorer to copy to floppy.

How do you use Explorer to copy a document to a floppy?

Click-and-drag or copy-and-paste, same as for any other files and folders.

Your file name is NOT in consecutive spaces. You have left BLANK spaces in
the name.
Ex:

My doument page
Word and IE convert to My%20document%20page, or some such nonesense.

Save the file as; Mydoucmentpage or MyDocumentPage or even attempt to limit
your file names back to the old 8-3.

DO HOWEVER take heed of the previously supplied reply of NOT saving Word to
floppies.
