You SHOULD be able to use either File, Open or File, Save dialogs, find the
saved file, right-click on it and select Send To, 3―" floppy drive. It
worked OK for me in Office XP. However, I cannot test if this function is
still good in W2003 as I don't have a floppy. I use a USB Flash Key for
transporting data.
However, I doubt that copying to a CD-R like this is going to work because
of the delay by Windows preparing the file for packet writing to CD-R. It
isn't safe, even if it did work though.
