HI Michael Yes, I wasn't using the right software. It's done now, thanks for everyone for all their helpful advice, It's a happy ending for a Monday afternoon, Tracy ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Edward Granat To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 3:16 PM Subject: atw: Re: Saving a PDF to disk Hi Tracy, Just because you are using a recordable CD that you use for backups elesewhere doesn't mean that the drive on the PC that you are using right now is actually a CD writer (it might only be a reader). Also, the IT policy at where you are / for that PC might disallow writes to removable media. Hope that helps. -- Michael Granat Write Ideas* Carnegie, Victoria, Australia.
