Word Document Corrupt

Thank you.

You should never open Word documents directly from a flash drive. Nor should you save directly to or print from a flash drive. Instead, copy the file to the hard drive, open and work on it from there. After saving and closing the document, copy it back to the flash drive.
Failing to follow this procedure has likely resulted in corruption of the files, but if all the files are corrupted, then indeed the drive itself may be damaged.
