can not send files from office to dvd writer drive

does anyone know of a reason why i wouldn't be able to
save files from office to my dvd/cd-writer drive? HELP
PLEASE

This isn't an Office issue. It's caused by the software you installed to
allow CD writing or the lack thereof. Having said that, working directly
with Office files on removable media will frequently result in corrupted
unusable documents. Please work from the harddrive and then copy the
document to the removable media.

I'm having the same problem. I have created several documents in various applications and saved them to my hard drive. I wanted to also store them on CDs. But cannot save as to the CD drive. Why?

Is it a CD-RW drive or just a regular CD drive?

Please, Please, Please do not do "Save As" to removable media. Simply
copy them from the harddrive location to the removable media. If this
does not work then the problem lies in the writing software.
