error 0x80070052

When trying to copy Word 2002 files to a flash drive, this error message
comes up. It has not happened before, and I wonder if anyone can tell me what
it means and if there is anything I can do about it?

A quick Google indicates it could be a speed issue with newer flash drives
and older drivers.One poster in another forum suggested the following:
"You need to put all your files in a sub-folder before you transfer them to
the USB stick. I kept getting the error when I tried to transfer images from
a folder in my desktop. Apparently, the folder of your data needs to be a
sub-folder of the original folder. (A folder in a folder, the sub-folder is
the one with the data in it.)
So, in other words, open the folder with the files you want transfered and
make a 'New' folder in it. Then copy all your stuff into the new (sub)
folder. After that go into Windows Explorer and Move the original folder to
your USB stick.
I don't know why you need to do this, probably some kind of computer
glitch-thing-pain-in-the-butt.
I hoped that helped someone! "


I've never had this problem so I can't say whether or not this works. Either
way, it's not a Word issue. And never save directly to removable media.
Always save it to your hard disk than copy it from there to your drives.

thanks for the reply. I am trying to copy from hard drive, but was able to
transfer everything before iwthout making sub-folders. I will try that
though. The only change I have made recently is to re-install Office 2002,
because of computer crash. Could that have made a difference
