Help! I need to save changes made to a presentation to a disc but it gives me
a message that says "Can't save...Folder is marked as 'read-only'" So I
tried to save it under a new name, new disc and even the new disc won't let
me create a new file. Please help me. I am using Microsoft Office Power
Point 2003.
 
Sounds like you are trying to save your file to a CD. Is that true? If so,
you can't (unless you have a CD-RW and it is already formatted to be used).
Even then, you should NEVER save to a CD or floppy, but always to your hard
drive, then copy it to the other medium.
 
Don't try to save directly to a CD or other removable media. Save to your hard
disk and then use your CD burning software to move it to a CD.
