To save text created in Works onto a USB flash drive, do you first have to save it on your computer's hard drive?

To save text created in Works onto a USB flash drive, do you first have
to save it on your computer's hard drive (like you do when you save
something onto a CD)? Thank you again.

Chris

No, you can save it directly the flash drive.

I don't mean to be a pain, but I have one more quick question: To save
text created in Works by using one of those external DVD burners (like
the one below), would the text be first saved onto my harddrive? I ask
because I want to prevent hackers stealing something I will be working
on, so I don't want it ever to be in my harddrive. Thanx again.

It depends on the software you are using. With some software you can write directly to optical media without caching to the hard drive first. The utility built into WinXP will create temporary files on the hard drive before writing to the optical media. The temp files should be automatically removed when the write operation completes. If they aren't, you can manually remove them. If you use packet writing software you can write directly to optical media the same as e.g. a flash drive.

software.
