how to use USB flash drive

[Guest]

I have a USB 2.0 Flash Drive with no instructions. How do I transferfiles
from Word to my laptop using Flash Drive?

Did you look on the website for your flash drive's manufacturer?

In Word, just save the files to your hard drive. Then use Windows Explorer
to copy the files from the hard drive to the flash drive.

The flash drive, when plugged into the computer, should come up as a some
letter drive (e.g., G drive, similar to the way a floppy disk would show).
If it doesn't come up as an available drive, then you need to check with the
manufacturer's website.

PS. In Word, never open and edit a file stored on removable media. Always
copy to hard drive, use the file, then copy the new file back.

I am able to copy documents from my flash drive to hard drive, but I cannot
copy music from the flash drive to save on the hard drive in the media
player. Do you know how to do that? Please help.

That isn't a Microsoft Word issue.
