You find Microsoft Word easier to use on Ubuntu. You must be using
crossover office.

Of course if you are not then you probably want to learn a little about
filesystem hierarchy in linux which is different to windows.

Hope this helps.

I can understand your frustration but you need to moderate your
approach. This is a list intended for discussions on OpenOffice.org and
Open Source. Not user issues. This issue would be better on the users
list where more eyes would peruse it.

The majority of people prepared to help on both lists are other users
who have faced many of the same issues you are. Not paid helpdesk
personnel. Therefore a demanding, sarcastic post is likely to be binned
as timewasting by around 2/3 of users.

If my above advice does not help, then take a little time to unwind,
join the users list, and spell out your issue more clearly. 
Is the issue with OO.o or Ubuntu or linux?
Can other applications see the flashdrive?
Can you copy data to and from the flashdrive readily using any other
app?
