Read Only Documents

[Sarah]

I had the same problem as some previous posters-- copying documents to cd has resulted in my documents being read only. I tried right-clicking and a unclicking the read only box, but I get an error message back telling me access is denied, which makes no sense to me. Why is that happening?

documents on a CD are always read-only. You have to copy them back to the
hard disk, then you can right-click and change the read-only property.

I am sorry, I don't mean to be stupid about this, but does that mean that I can't use a CD-RW the way I used to use a floppy disk? Like that I can't take it around and work on a document continually updating it?

You shouldn't use a floppy that way either: corrupt documents are the
inevitable result. Copy the document from the CD to the hard disk, work on
it, save it to the hard disk, copy it back to the CD. (The computer has to
have a CD burner, too, by the way. Ordinary CD drives can't write.)
