How do I save a publisher file to a CD and avoid read only status

[Jerry]

I am trying to save a publisher file to a CD RW and it is either auto saving
to "read only" or not allowing me to save at all.

I have changed the "read only" selection box and it is set NOT to save as
"read only". Is there an issue with the type of CD RW disc I am using?

I want to be able to take the file with me on a laptop presentation.

Thanks!

Save the file to the hard drive, copy to the CD, Publisher does not save well to
removable media. Anything you transfer to a removable media becomes read only.
Copy the file to your laptop drive, the read-only check should be gone, if it
isn't clear it.

a) Saving to optical media is not reliable and is discouraged.
b) This is an issue with ALL rewritable optical media, with the possible
exception of DVD-RAM. CD-RWs are only rewritable once they have been
ereased - they are not a read-write medium in the same way that hard
drives or flash memory devices are.

Save to the local hard drive, copy to disc using CD recording software.
Copy to the local hard drive, edit, save, copy back to disc.

If you don't want to have to use CD writing software, use a USB flash
memory device.
