Alright, here is the thing.
I have microsoft word 2003. i have been working on a project using word. (i have the word file on a USB flash disk). I recently installed norton internet security 2007. Anyway, i was in the middle of the writing and i pressed save. i got a message that said "Could not save because the file is unavailable". i looked up the file in the USB drive where it should be, but it wasn't there anymore. Luckily i had a back up on the same flash disk. i opened it and continued working, saving the work every few minutes. Finally, it also gave me the same message. it said that once of the caused is this: an antivirus program might thought that this file is infected and deleted it. i had another back up and i scanned the file and it said it was not infected. i updated norton again. what is the problem? i am afraid to work on the project again as i might lose it. what can i do? please help. thank you so much.

Try to uninstall norton internet security 2007 then reboot. The problem has similarities with what program is compatible to Windows 2000 and programs compatible with Windows XP. Higher version of OS may not conflict programs created from the lower versions but when it comes to program created from Higher version of OS installed to lower version of OS, there are tendency that programs do conflict.
In Saving program, try to save it first in the HDD to make sure that your file is in good hands before placing it in your Flash drive.

Someone has already told you this, but I'll tell you again. Never work on a file that is just stored on storage somewhere. Put the file back on your hard drive, make your changes, save a copy then put it back on your flash drive, or whatever you are using. You may very well have a defective flash drive, that does happen, more often than people think. I doubt if it is Norton.

The problem is not in Microsoft files, its actually the fact that your USB flash disk is defected !, yes it can happen like that, you might be able to see the file along with zero file size, or you might actually start losing files or so on.
Don't work on your files directly from a flash disk as a general guideline and you should consider to double check the one that you have. many flash disks have these kinds of defects especially from non-recognized retailers.

First, try logging off and restarting your gadget. That by itself might want to fix your challenge. If it would not, try this when you've booted up: a million. click the starting up->All courses menu merchandise. 2. click the Microsoft workplace equipment->Microsoft workplace Shortcut Bar merchandise. wish that permits.
