software

Under File/ Properties/ General tab for this worksheet the quot;Read Onlyquot; box is
not checked. The Archive box is checked, however, that whole section is
ghosted and I can not change anything. I am using Office, Student and
Teacher Edition 2003. I'm trying to copy this file to a CD but keep getting
the error message that it is a Read Only file and cannot be copied.Is it maybe saying the CD is read-only, not the file? Is it a CD-RW CD, or
just CD-R? Do you have a CD burner? Have you formatted the CD to be
read-write?

The properties you are looking at, (read only, archive, etc) can be changed
by right clicking on the file name and going into properties. But that will
not solve your problem, a read-only file can be copied.

Also - If you opened the file ON THE CD and then modified the file - you
will get the quot;ERROR MESSAGEquot; you referenced in you question. You need to
save the revised file to your DESKTOP or some place other than the CD -
then you should be able to copy it from the desktop back to the CD.--
