Why,when I burn a data disc, does it put the Excel or Word document into a
'Read-Only' format? Is there a way to stop this? I've looked everywhere
I
can think to see if something is checked that causes it, but can't find
any
help. I was told by someone that I needed CD-RW discs, which I have. Can
anybody help me? The data I need to forward on to someone needs to be
workable when they get it.

All the person who receives it needs to do is copy it to their computer and
then edit it with the same software program.

It sounds like even though you are using a CD-RW disk you are not creating a
writeable CD. To create a writeable CD packet writing software needs to be
installed on the system and the person who receives has to have the same
software.

Thanks much. I tried this, by copying to my own computer and was able to
work with the document. I appreciate the quick response. This has been
driving me crazy for a couple years!
