If you want to be able to use your documents, when working within Word, act
as if your removable media drives do not exist! (This applies to floppy
drives, CDRW/CDR, flash drives or DVDR drives as well as any other kind of
removable media drives.)
Don't use Word to:
Open a document on removable media
Print a document on a removable media
Edit a document on a removable media
Save a document to a removable media (not even a copy)
Word regularly trashes documents on removable media drives!
Instead, work on the document using your hard drive. Copy it back and forth
using Windows.
I know that for some with shared computers (libraries, schools) this is a
tough prescription. All I can recommend for that is to use a brand new
formatted disk each time you save and don't do any editing.

...
when i try to save a word document on CD-RW, or attach the doccument to an
e-mail there is a message that appears that says "incorrect function" and
that i must seek permission from the administrator to save the document
even
though i am the original owner of the office 2003 and original author of
the
document. but i am able to save the word document on the desktop or in "My
Documents" or anywhere else within the computer. i did not install any
programs to restrict access or restrict file sharing. Can anybody tell me
what's happening and what should i do to save my file on CD_RW or attach
it
to an e-mail?
