Write Word Documents to a CD

Storing your Microsoft Word documents (letters, resumes, curricula vitae (CVs), poetry, manuscripts, reports, essays) can be useful for a number of reasons: editing from different computers, easily giving documents to others, or collaborating with others.

Steps

1. Insert your CD-RW into your CD drive.
2. With your document window open, click File > Save As.... Or, using your keyboard, press Alt and the F key, then Alt and the A key.
3. When the "Save As" window opens, click the black down arrow next to the "Save in..." space.
4. Click on the drive with your CD in it. The name will be a capital letter followed by a colon and a slash. (G:/)
5. Type a name for your document into the "File Name" form.
6. Choose a document type if you don't want to use the default, i.e., you want your .doc file to be saved as a .txt file.
7. Click "Save".

Tips

• When saving, choose a name that defines your document, i.e. don't name your report on the Ebola virus "Report".
• Choose something you will easily remember so you don't lose the file.
