Microsoft Word Question

[GMTECH]

Sorry for bothering you guys so much with this trivial word processing stuff. I was wondering why Microsoft Word 2000 can't save a document to my D cdrw drive. When I try and save it to D it opens a window and says that D is listed as a read only drive. The funny thing is that I can save a document in Word Pad to D. I do a lot of writing and I have to save documents to cd's, not floppy's. Thank You in Advance!

if you're not using separate burning software, can you, with a blank CD in drive, copy and paste the named file to your cdrw drive, then right click the cdrw drive and click write files to CD?

Try a newer version of direct cd possible but beyond that no idea. Worse case is you have to take the extra step of putting them on your cd from outside of word.

One possible reason that you may not be able to is because word works with temporary files so every time you open a dock you are actually working on a copy of that doc. It then through the process is saving those temp files until it does it's final write at save where it copies your current work to the original. It could be just the way it works with the temp files that is causing the issue.

Thank You LIN and KRYYST, I appreciate the input. LIN I will try doing what you suggested. KRYYST, I think your right because wordpad lets me write files to the cd. I thought I might have to check a box or something in word to get it to let me burn documents to my cd. I will mess around with it, thank You both!
