You don't save directly to a CD. You need to save it to your hard drive and
then burn your CD in the usual fashion.

If you figure out how to save to the CD directly, chances are you will lose
your document. 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.
