Why is saving to a disc suddenly "write protected"?
I always have been able to save documents in Word (2000) to a floppy. Now,
when I try to do that, I get a message "The location you are trying to save to is write protected". I don't know how it got write protected and how I can change it. Can anyone help please? Thanks |

NEVER save directly to floppy. It leads to corrupt documents and often to
unrecoverably corrupt disks as well, which is probably what has happened in your case. Save the document to hard disk, then use Windows Explorer or My Computer to copy to file to the floppy. But also check if the floppy itself is write-protected: it's the sliding tab in the corner. "mickey h" mickey wrote in message ...

This is the most certain method of ensuring document corruption. Copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there. This is equally relevant to other removable media such as CDRW. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
