If your camera is plugged into your USB port then, yes! You just plug the flash drive into the USB port and then save the Word document to that drive. (use the "save as" option) Or, if you are not actually in the document, click on it in explorer and copy to the drive where you want it saved.

1) here you can find an introduction to the use of flash drives: "How to Use a USB Flash Drive" http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/Flashdrive/ 2) I saw various reports about people having problems saving Word texts directly to a flash drive: - "Permissions Error when using word 2003 with USB Flash Drive" http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7813_102-0.html?forumID=29&threadID=203802&messageID=2180227 - "The problem was that my friend has this one word document in his usb flash drive. After he has done some editing with his word document and try to save it, the error messages "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error" prompted into his screen. He soon discovered that the file was deleted from the flash drive whenever he try to save the file directly to flash drive. He also tried to duplicate the scenario and he got the same problem over and over again. His word documents keep on disappearing or deleted for that 'file permission error' reason. The only workaround that i've found for this problem was, do the editing in the harddrive first and then 'move-and-paste' the file to the thumbdrive afterward. Now, this somehow works for him." (some other workarounds described there) http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t94454.html 3) If you want to avoid those problems, just don't work with word on a file that is on your flash drive. Copy the file on your hard disk, modify the file on there, save it and close it hen you are done, and move it back to the flash drive for transfer. It is not recommended to use flash drives for backups.

In my computer look for the name of your jump drive/flash drive or it will say E or G, H etc travel drive, something to that effect. It is wise to first make folders on your jumpdrive with names of say documents, something so you can identify where you are putting files, rather than just dumping a bunch of stuff in there, makes for easier finding of files when looking for one file. As for the comment that they are not good for backups, I would have to disagree, I currently own 8 of them for 1g to 32g and use them for backups for many items from software to files to music and pics. You can put many other programs on these drives also like: secure password manager PDF Reader Encryption and security utility HTTP File Server Quick `n Easy FTP Server YamiPod for managing your iTunes Dr.Web CureIt stand alone virus eTextReader Drive Manager RockXP recovers your key code Restoration for finding deleted files and many more all found at www.snapfiles.com look at the top of page, click on the features tab, then look for Handy programs to put on a Usb stick, click and look at list. As a tech I use them for many things, backup among them.
