Saving to disk
 
I am working up some templates in Excel for a friend who insists that he be
able to work off of a floppy or a zip disk. However, the program is not
letting me save to either media. The computer tells me that the media cannot
handle these types of files.

Do not save/open directly to any removable media.
Save to the HD and copy and v/v (copy to the HD and open).

You're asking for corruption.
