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

Fred,

I try never to save Office files directly to an removable media.  It is
much better to save to your hard drive, and then copy it.  Otherwise,
Excel (Word, PowerPoint) will also try to use your floppy drive for the
temp files.  Not only does this eat space on limited media, it can
result in corrupted files.  (In PowerPoint, it is one of the top causes
of corrupted files.  I have never done a study on Excel files, but would
guess that it is the same.)

Just my two cents.
