Saving files

[Charamon]

I am trying to save a file to my CD E:drive and I am receiving an error
message stating I don have access to the folder. See your administratorfor
access to this folder. I am the owner and major user. I'm using Mircosoft
word.

Thanks

Do not open Office files directly from, or save Office files
directly to, removable media (including CDs), because doing so
usually results in file corruption sooner or later. Instead,
modify the Office files on your hard drive, then when you have
closed the files and Office applications, use your CD mastering
software (Nero, Sonic, Adaptec, etc.) to copy the files from your
hard drive to the CD.

Reinforcing what garfield-n-odie told you:

If you want to be able to use your documents, when working within Word, act
as if your removable media drives do not exist! (This applies to floppy
drives, CDRW/CDR, flash drives or DVDR drives as well as any other kind of
removable media drives.)
Don't use Word to:
Open a document on removable media
Print a document on a removable media
Edit a document on a removable media
Save a document to a removable media (not even a copy)

Word regularly trashes documents on removable media drives!

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

I know that for some with shared computers (libraries, schools) this is a
tough prescription. All I can recommend for that is to use a brand new
formatted disk each time you save and don't do any editing.
