[mso] Re: Excel space required to save on FD

It may be that you're opening the file from the diskette. Office programs 
create temporary files on the folder where the file you're working on is 
opened from. When it's a floppy, many times there's no space for the 
temporary files plus the actual file. Try saving the file to your HD then 
copying it to the floppy instead of saving. Different Office programs need 
different temporary file space. Because of this, it's never a good thing to 
work from a diskette with any Office program, you should always copy the 
file to your HD, work on it, save it then copy it back to the diskette.
Best,
Wilson
