Can you burn files from Word 2007 to CD, I am trying to burn 3 files from one
folder without any success...:(
 
Thanks JoAnn...ur right...I was trying to do this...thankyou I will go via my
CD burning software
 
Recent Windows versions can burn CDs. Vista can "save" files to RW CDs
and DVDs (if the blank is properly prepared by "formatting" ahead of
time) as if the CD or DVD were a large floppy. There is information in
the Windows help system and on-line at various web sites.

e.g. from Vista Help system-

Format a CD or DVD

Before you can copy files to a CD or DVD, the disc must first be
prepared using a process called formatting. There are several ways to
format a CD or DVD disc. Your choice of format determines which
computers and other devices will be able to read the disc.

1. Insert a disc into your computer's CD or DVD drive.

2. In the dialog box that appears, click Burn files to disc.

3. In the Burn a disc dialog box, type a name for your new disc.

4. Click Show formatting options, and then click one of the following
formatting options:

Live File System

Mastered

5. Click Next to prepare the disc.

Now you can copy files to your disc using whichever method you selected.

The point being made is that you cannot save a document directly to a CDR.
You need to save a document to the local HDD and then burn it to CDR with
Windows or another package. Word cannot do this itself.

I agree; however, I thought Joanne covered that part of it. Perhaps I
would have been wise to include that caveat but my words describe how to
use Windows, includes words from the Vista help system, and did not
mention Word at all.
