Save file to CD

J

Jack Poltorak

I have a client that was able to save files to a CD. I
installed the MS Patches onto her system. Several days
later she was trying to save her files direct to the CD
and it did not work. Here is the error.

Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure that the
disk you want to save the file on is not full, write
protected or damamged.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

She does have a CD Burner.
Using Explorer, we were able to save the document to the
CD.
We also were able to save other documents through Roxio
to the same CD.

Thank You,
Jack Poltorak

If you want to be able to use your documents, when working with in Word, act
as if your floppy drive does not exist. (This applies to CDRW/CDR drives as
well.)
Don't use Word to:
Open a document on a floppy
Print a document on a floppy
Edit a document on a floppy
Save a document to a floppy (not even a copy)

Word regularly trashes documents on floppy drives!

Instead, work on the document using your hard drive. Copy it back and forth
using Windows.
