Saving a Word doc to a flash drive...

I'm working on a Word document that I have saved to a flash drive. I would like to continue working on it at home (via my MacBook) but I'm not sure how to save it correctly to the flash drive. Please help!!??

sc6051 has a valid point.


If you wish to write the file back to the USB stick after editing in Office for Mac, the USB stick will need to be formatted FAT32. (or exFAT if both systems are new enough)

That is the default format for most thumb drives, but if it's been formatted NTFS for Windows-only, the Mac won't be able to write to it without third-party software.
