Saving Word 2007 to CD
I seem to recall that in prior versions of Word you could save to CD. Is
this a change in 2007? Sure would be nice for those things you don't want on one's hard drive. Thanks! -- Vicky |

You couldn't do this in earlier versions without serious risk of document
corruption. Never ever read from, write to, or print from removable media with Word. These are the most certain methods of ensuring document corruption. Copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Vicky wrote: I seem to recall that in prior versions of Word you could save to CD.

thanks for the advice. I guess the only way to keep sensitive information
out of the wrong hands is to use word on an offline computer - that's what I was trying to do.

Why not just buy a flash drive? You can get them cheap. Then save to your
flash drive and put it in your pocket. "Vicky" wrote in message ... thanks for the advice.

Saving Word 2007 to CD
I bought a small purse/cell phone case that came with a key chain with a
lipstick case. I rarely wear lipstick but I've found that it's the perfect size for a flash drive. This way I will always have one with me. There have been times when I've been at a friend's home or at Mom's and I wanted a file they had. I would email it to myself. Now I can just pop in my drive and go. :-) -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Vicky" wrote in message ... Thanks everyone.

Saving Word 2007 to CD
I know this is really late in the game but This information would have been
great about 2 weeks ago... I think my new employer was putting me to the test! So ya can't save a word document to a cd when I was specifically asked to do just that... And my computer just doesn't have what it takes... And I will have to say that so far... I hate word! "Richard in AZ" wrote: "Vicky" wrote in message ...

Do you hate it because you're unable to write to a CD? If that's the case it
wouldn't matter which program you are using. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "Miss Angela" Miss wrote in message ...

Saving Word 2007 to CD
Chances are your new employer isn't aware that saving to any removeable
media is a really bad practice. As for the computer, no clue if it "has what it takes". That depends on what it has and what you need to be able to do.As for Word 2007....take a little time to get accustomed to it. I despised the moment I saw the first screen shot of it. I'm getting used to it though and I know that when my employer switches to Office 2007, I will be able to hit the ground running instead of b*tching about how I can't find anything (like my coworkers will be). ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Miss Angela" Miss wrote in message ...
