saving files to cd
I would like to save documents to a cd but whenever I save as drive F or G it
tells me that I do not have access to that folder to contact my administrator. This is my home computer. What do I need to do to accomplish this? Deb S |

Deb S Save to the hard drive, and then use CD burning software to copy the file to the CD. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

saving files to cd
Never use Word with any type of removable media (CD, floppy, Flash drive,
etc.) As Jay says, always save to the local HDD. Copy to from removable media or in the case of CDR or DVDR, burn to the media. But note that because it is burnt to a CD/DVD, it will be assigned the Read only attribute. You will need to manually change that when you try to open the document for editing again. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Debbie Short" Debbie wrote in message ...

To clarify what Terry said: You cannot turn off the read-only attribute for a
file on an optical drive. When you edit the doc that has been burned to CD, first copy it to the local HD, then use the Properties dialog to turn off its read-only attribute. -- TedMi "Terry Farrell" wrote: Never use Word with any type of removable media (CD, floppy, Flash drive, etc.) As Jay says, always save to the local HDD.
