Help me copy word files to CD

[Guest]

My computer refuses to let me copy word files to CD. When I copy and paste
..jpg files there's no problem, but when it comes to .mp3 or word files, I'm
stuck. I badly need a copy, please help!

Do you get an error message?

Ken - This URL was "404 Not Found" on my server. I'm aware of a
provider not carrying all newsgroups, but I've never run into a website
not being available. Do you know if there is any other way to see what
it says there?

Yes...

You could visit the main page and then click on "Good Post" from the top
menu.
http://www.dts-l.org/

Also - if you leave off the "l" in the link:
http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm

It'll work too.
In case none of that works for you, the contents are included below here in
plain text...

· Do some research first
· Consult the online Help and the manual.
· Search the Internet, put key words about the problem into
a Search Engine like DTS-L Fast Search.
· If you still can't find the answer, post to Microsoft Product
Support Newsgroups.
· First use the "Find" function on the newsreader to locate other
messages about the problem.
· Or use this Advanced Group Search Utility designed to filter
the vast amount of information found on the WWW.

· Decide where to post...
· Post to one general group if you are not sure which
group applies, ask where the best place is to ask your
question.

· How to compose your post...
· Create a new message, don't post a question of your own
in response to another question.
· Make the "Subject line" a short, relevant synopsis of your
problem.
· Before going into detail, clearly summarize the problem.
· Make a concise, clear description of the problem.
· Unless multiple problems seem related, do not mix them
together, make separate posts.
· If you are getting error messages, include the exact text in
the error message. If there is a "Details" button, click it and
copy/paste the error message itself into the post. If you are
using Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) press Atl+D to
bring up the detailed error message. For XP, if there is an
Event ID and Source, include it as well.
· Tell if an error occurs when doing some action or using some
particular software.
· What changed in your system shortly before the problem
occurred? Knowing about a setting change or added software or
hardware may be helpful in solving the problem.
· Briefly describe your machine, video card, CPU, amount of RAM,
hard drive size and amount of free space.
· Identify clearly the steps and procedures you have already
used to try to fix the problem.
· Proof-read and spell-check the post before sending.

· After you post...
· Be patient waiting for a response, it may take a couple of days
or more before the right person sees the question.
· You should carefully assess any advice you get. If there is bad
information in a posted response, someone will almost always
correct it. Ask for clarification if you aren't certain.
· If you don't get a response, it is probably because either the
answer is unknown, perhaps your question was not understood or
the information originally provided was not clear enough. If
this occurs, posting an amended question could produce a better
result.

· Once your problem is solved...
· It is useful to post back to the group afterwards, saying
thanks and that a suggestion worked (or not). That tells the
group if it is a useful solution.

· Survival Camp: posting errors to avoid...
· Don't ask for an email reply unless absolutely necessary, and
then follow up to the group with a summary.
· Avoid cross-posting, unless your problem clearly fits the
category of more than one group.
· Never post separate identical messages to several
newsgroups. This wastes respondents' time, and may result in
you being ignored.
· Don't attach screen shots or files. If you believe a screen
shot or file is critical to understanding your problem, advise
that it exists and offer to send it.
· Don't post in ALL CAPITALS, it's too hard to read.
· Remove unnecessary included text from replies.
· Use punctuation.
· Stick to plain text, use html format only if necessary to
explain your problem. The stationery groups are exceptions to
this.
· Avoid poor subject lines like these:
· HEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!
· any experts around here?
· <Name of person> EMAIL ME!!!
· need help please
· Bill Gates is the Devil
· idontknowwhattodomycomputerquit
· Read the Microsoft Rules of Conduct

Hope that is what you needed!
