How do I save files to a CD-RW disk from Word?
Simple I know. I am used to saving files to a floppy from Word. I no
longer have a floppy and need to save to a CD-RW disk. How is that done? I am doing it much the same way as saving to a:drive only when I chose my d: or CD drive I get a prompt saying access is denied see administrator. Do I need to format the CD-RW disk or configure something first? I am lost and I know this is simple. People do it everyday. Barry |

However, you must save to your hard drive and then using your CD burner software write the file to the CD. |

Never ever read from, write to or print from floppy with Word. This is the
most certain method of ensuring document corruption. Copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there. The same is appropriate to all removable media, including CDRW discs. Packet writing is the least stable of all removeable media and should not be used to save the *only* copy of any data you may want to recover in the future. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chuck Davis wrote: -----Original Message----- Chuck Davis wrote: However, you must save to your hard drive and then using your CD burner software write the file to the CD.

The reason concerns the volatile temporary files that Word always creates in the workspace over which you have no control or prior knowledge of their size and number. If Word cannot create its temporary files, the document will corrupt. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
