Unhappy Macro to warn about removeable media save?

This may need to be moved to a different section. I thought there used to be a section called "Macros," but there doesn't seem to be one now.

Having very recently learned that Word doesn’t handle detachable media well, I am looking for a macro (or an add-on of some sort) that would be constantly on the lookout for my saving a Word file to any drive other than “C:” and warn me about this problem before I save the current file to anywhere other than my main (or whatever the proper term is) drive. I don’t care how polished or elegant it might be, but only that it work. I am so used to saving my work to thumb drives and SD cards that it will take some doing to break this habit, and this is what I’m looking for in this macro. If there’s already a commercial program that can do this, let me know. I’m not averse to spending some money to prevent my files from turning into gibberish.



Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
