how to save a word document
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? |

how to save a word document
A. You're not in the correct group here.
B. As a general rule, Word doesn't work with CDs etc. because it wants to create its temporary files in the same folder that you save your .doc in, and despite the fact that you're using a writable device, Word may well not treat a CD-RW as a ?real/ writable device. But that's just a guess on my part. C. If you're having trouble doing things directly from Word, save the file to a normal folder on a hard drive, then using Windows to copy the .doc to the CD-RW. or use your e-mail client to insert the .doc as an attachment.

how to save a word document
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. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
