Saving to CD?

[Guest]

Hi All

I am using Windows XP Pro and Office 2003 and have heard that you can save directly to a cd writable

I cant seem to be able to do this, can someone please advise how

Thank

I would NEVER save to any removable media. I would save and COPY to the
cdrw.

Hi

Like Don said, most people don't save directly to removable media as in the
past there has been problems with files becoming corrupted and unable to be
opened or recovered. The generally accepted way to do it was to save to your
hard drive and then copy the saved file to a cdrw.

If your files are critical, that is the safe way to do it.

That being said, I have personally not had any problems when saving directly
to a cdrw from office with windows XP. You must have packet writing software
to do this, such as Roxio's Direct CD and the cdrw disk must be Direct CD
formatted.Then just do a save as and select the CDRW drive.

Ken,
What I've done is to open a Roxio Data project (ver 5
platinum), then find files on the HD and 'add' files to
the CDRW disk and Record. I agree that the copying
directly has caused problems however the new ver. 7.0, or
possibly 6x, might have the 'drag and drop' that works. I
don't have either so I can't tell.
