Everytime I work on the CD that contains my resume, the message "Read only"
appears and I can't do modifications on my resume. Is there a way to copy to
a CD and be able to work on it later.
Thank you

DON'T work oiin it from the CD. Copy it to the hard drive, remove the
read-only attribute property, edit the document, save it to the hard drive,
then copy it back to the disc using your disc mastering software.

Hi Graham
The "read-only attribute property" is not ticked and when I copy my resume
from the document to a CD is still copied "read only". Matbe there is
something I don't understand so can you write step by step what I should do
to get rid of the "read only".

Files on CD are always read-only.
Files on the hard drive - using Windows Explorer, right click properties
uncheck the read-only flag.
If this doesn't make it work correctly, you probably have an orphan lock
file - see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm

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.
