floppy copying

759 Views 9 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  sprocket
Hello wonder if you can help.

I am using Office XP - Word. How do I save text documents to a rewritable disc? Used to use floppy 3.5 inch but have just bought a new laptop that does not have floppy drive. Want to save new text documents on a regular basis to the same rewritable disc in the same way as used to save to floppy. Unable to 'Save As'. It comes up with 'error - the disc is read only'. Any ideas????

You need a CD-RW disk and it may need formating before it can be used. Another option is a flash drive, which are pretty cheap and connect to a USB port. I purchased a 128MB flash for $30.
Most laptops come with a CD-RW and XP can be used alone to write CD-RWs.

I was really surprised it could.
Sprocket,

XP is full of features that are surprising.

You do need Nero, Easy CD creator, or ... for advanced functions, such as music conversion.
