Read Only Files when saving to CD RW

[Guest]

I am in the process on trying to save many of my Word documents to a CD RW as
backup. More specifically, I am trying to back up my Resume and References.
However, each time I save it to the CD it automatically changes them to Read
Only. I want to be able to edit the documents periodically and continue to
save them under the same name. How do I save Word Documents to a CD-RW
without making them Read Only? I am a novice user.

Files saved on a CD (even a CD-RW) are always Read Only by default. To edit
one of the documents, copy it back to your hard drive. Then, in Windows
Explorer (or Word's File Open window), right-click on the filename, choose
Properties from the shortcut menu, and clear the Read Only check box.
