Problem copying to Floppy Disc

[Pete Q]

I started getting a strange message when I try to copy
files to a floppy disc.

The file still gets copied to the floppy disc but I get
the following pop up message from Windows Explorer:

"The target can not handle this type of document"

It happened initially in Word but then all office
applications.

I went back in today but it seemed to stop all of a
sudden but I am still wondering if the problem is really
solved.

The other thing I noticed today is that when I click on
the "disc" icon at the top of the screen, this doesn't
seem to copy the file to the floppy disc

The 'Floppy Disk' Icon in Word Toolbar is equivalent
to 'Save' NOT 'Save to Floppy'.
Word will 'Save' either to where the file was opened from
OR where it was last saved using 'Save As'....
