MS-Word 2000 unnecessarily accessing floppy.

Have some documents for Word 2000 on a Netware Server
(3.12). Every time we
try to open any of these, the floppy drive is
unnecessarily accessed causing
a delay. The document is NOT on the floppy, nor are any
of it's included
resources. The document does go ahead and open, but only
after this
unexpected delay.

It may very well be; however, that these documents were
at one time on
floppy disks... no way for me to know for certain. This
happens on ALL
workstations, not just some of them, and always on the
same documents, but
not ALL documents, so this appears to be a document
related problem, not a
workstation or registry issue...

What causes this, and how can I fix it?

If anyone is interested in the resolution of this issue, we received a
response from another forum which immediately fixed it. There was still a
"template" attached from the original author, who HAD saved it to floppy,
which was pointing to the A: drive. After changing this setting, the problem
was immediately resolved...
