How do I save a file to a CD. The F:drive is my CD but it says i.

[Guest]

I want to save a file from Word to a CD, which is my F:drive but it says that
is an incorrect option. I am new to Office 2003 and I have searched for the
answer.

Don't save directly to CD. Save to your hard disk then, depending on your
hardware, copy to CD (if your hardware supports automatic burning) or use
your CD burning software.

Assuming your CD is a burner and not just an ordinary CD drive.

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.
