Your problem Beetle is that you didn't until now mention that you were trying to save to a CD. "Save to disk" to me when I hear that usually means Hard disk or Floppy. I could not figure why your document would not save to the hard disk. If you are using a CD rewritable and trying to to save to the CD over the top of an earlier version of the same file then you will find that most files on a CD have the read only attribute turned on. I hope this points you in the right direction. Just got home from work after starting at about 5:00 and my brain is tired too. Not to mention the rest of me as well. > > it shows up other things on the disk, 1 item and its > not made a dent in the space left so any ideas or > explanation would be helpful here. > > will have another go tomorow. better luck next time > huh? > > > brain may also be less tired and frazzled by then to > cope with info. > > > beetle |

| 229851 | 2004-04-16 12:44:00 | I did not think you were having one of those days. You did mention not being able able to save to "any" disk which should have given me a clue. I usually save to Hard disk (two of them) then copy or burn to CD for important stuff. I am off to bed now too. Hopefully we are now on the right track. CUL8ter. |
