To avoid document corruption, do not *ever* work directly from Word on
any kind of removable media. That includes floppies, CD-RW, Zip disks,
flash drives, etc. Copy the document to the hard drive, work on it
there, close it, and copy it back to the CD.

When you read the number of sob stories that get posted here, you'll
be glad you kept your work safe.
 
Files on a CD (any type) are always read-only. Copy the needed file to your
HD, then, in Windows Explorer, right-click, choose Properties, and remove
the Read Only attribute.
