saving word doc to d drive CDRW

[Guest]

I'm trying to save a file and/or folder to D: drive (CDRW) and I receive a message indicating that I cannot do so due to the file being marked as "read only". However, I've deselected the check mark for "read only" in the file attributes and still I cannot save it to CD, why not and how do I do it?

The short answer is "don't."

Word does not play well with others, at least if the others are removable
media.

Work with documents on your hard drive. Use software other than Word to copy
back and forth to removable media. Windows or CD burning software.

Whether you can do this or not depends on the software you are using to
access the CDRW as a big floppy, but it is a not a good idea to do so as
saving to removable media is a likely source of document corruption and CDRW
packet formats are inherently unreliable. Save to hard drive and archive to
CDR (not RW) in multisession ISO mode.
