I save Word documents to a CR-RW for backup. They save automatically as
"read only". How do I stop this?

You don't :-(

Copy the file back to your Hard Drive & open that copy... Likewise, don't
try to save directly to any type of removable media, either. It's almost a
certainty that the file will be damaged if you do.

You can't. Files on a CD (even CD-RW) are read-only by definition. When you
copy them back to your HD (which you should do before trying to open them in
Word), you can clear the read-only flag.
