Saving to CD-R
I am trying to save Word documents to disc to send to a Client. They will
then alter them and send them back. Every time I save the documents they save as read only and will not then allow alterations. How do I stop them from saving as read only? Can't send the files as an e-mail attachment as they do not yet have e-mail. Have I got the wrong CD's? Any help greatfully received. Jo |

Saving to CD-R
Hi ose_jo,
Any files (not only Word documents) you put on a cd will become read-only. Copies of those files keep that property. Once copied from a cd, a file's read-only property can only be modified manually (right-click and choose Properties). Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.

Saving to CD-R
1. Do not under any circumstances save directly to CD. This corrupts the
document (and often the entire CD also). Save to your hard disk then copy to the CD. 2. Make sure your users do the reverse: copy to their hard disk, modify, then copy back to the CD. Do it this way even if you have re-writable CDs. Some set-ups are smart enough to clear the read-only setting when you copy from CD to hard disk; if not, you need to right-click and change the property manually. "ose_jo" wrote in message ...

Jo As previously advised "saving" files to a CD or any other removable media is taboo. Copying files is acceptable. Changing the format of a file attributes from read-only is a simple task, however if too complicated for your clients? Add the FILES to ZIP file and then copy the ZIP file to a CD. Within the ZIP the files will NOT be read-only. |
