Saving versions of excel and word docs to CD

I can't believe what I have just learned. Recently converted to Mac from PC. In Windows you can save version after version, in the same session, or in successive sessions, open them (Read Only), make changes, do a Save As, all of these things, right back to the same CD.
I just came from the Genius Bar at the Mac store, who confirmed for me that only one file can be written to a CD. The CD, when viewed in Finder, moves from being listed under Places, to becoming listed as a Device, above, once the first (and only) file has been burned to it. After that first burn, try and drag another document onto the icon for the CD under devices. and thence another burn...NO GO. I just can't believe this. One file per CD?
The guy at Mac downloaded Liquid CD from the Internet for me (shareware). I can't figure it out.
Is there a better software out there? Can't believe I even should need it. Isn't word processing, and saving versions on one disk, the most basic of functions for a notebook computer?
Thanks
Randy

This should help you out... it sounds like you are finalizing your CD (which prevents writing to it again). This is actually the default. You need to make the disk appendable in order to be able to write to it more than once. This is for OS X 10.4, but the procedure is the same for 10.5:

  • Adobe Reader tries to open all files even Excel and Word docs.

    When I try to open files that are sent to me, the Adobe Reader tries to open them all instead of an Excel file getting opened automatically by Excel and a .doc being opened by Word.
    The message I get by the Reader says it cannot open it, of course. (I have Windows Vista on my HP computer if that is the problem.) Someone told me to take the default off of the Reader so the files open and download in the proper software program, but I am unable to find such a "default" option in the Reader program properties.
    I never had this problem with any previous Windows version, so not sure if it is my computer, or the Reader. How can I fix this so when I download or open a file, it automatically opens in the right software?

    This means that the file associations of the various Office programs have been muddled up somehow. Try an Office repair install; that should correct the file associations.

  • Opening event for Excel or Word using Web versions of Excel and Word

    Is there an event or other messaging that can be caught and handled when a Word, or Excel file is selected and open using the web version of Word or Excel? At that event I want to access the OOXML file for the selected Word or Excel file and get data from
    it.
    Thanks
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    As far as I know, Opening event for Excel or Word is not exist in the Javascript API for Office.
    Unfortunately, I could not find such a document.
    >> At that event I want to access the OOXML file for the selected Word or Excel file and get data from it.
    For a workaround, I will recommend you add a function to get the data from the file in the Office.initialize event.​

  • After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

    After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

    If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
    You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/

    is there a free version of Adobe to allow me to convert Excel and word files to PDF's

    Nothing free no.
    At best there is a subscription you can purchase for a relatively low monthly price ($7.50 per month) that can be accessed through Adobe Reader (which is free).

  • How can I download excel and word

    I need work in excel and word in my iPed - please guide

    You cannot download or install Word or Excel for the iPad. MS has not released an iOS version.
    There are MS Office compatible apps available in the app store like Quick Office Pro and Documents to Go. Take a look at those and see what you think. Apple also has their iWorks suite of apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote that are compatible with the MS Office apps.

  • Hp officejet pro 8610 prints solid black on scanned pdf and word doc pictures

    -HP Officejet Pro 8610
    -problem printing scanned pdf document and word doc. photos
    -My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 printed a newly scanned pdf document as an all black picture. I then printed a saved word documtent from my iMac which included a small picture. The document print was acceptable, but the picture was solid black. There were no error messages. These were, my initial tests, to check this new printer.

    Hey there @TM-10 
    Welcome to the Community
    I read through your post about your new Officejet 8610 scanning a document to your computer and printing out all black. I have a couple ideas for you to try.
    Try the steps in this guide: Unexpected Scan Output Using HP Scan Application for HP Multifunction Printers When Using OS X v10.9...
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help.
    Good luck

    I upgraded to mountain lion a week ago and now on startup of my macbook pro, microsoft excel and word start up automatically and then crash? very strange can anyone please help? I have checked the login items under users and groups and there is nothing.

    Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do?  The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
    Hope this helps

  • Excel and Word 2011 crash on opening

    I'm not sure if this is a more common issue from earlier versions of office, but with the combination of Lion and Office 2011 I am having repeated issues. For reference I am using a new Mac Air i5 with plenty of disk space and memory.
    In summary, Excel and Word worked for a while, but once a file crashes for some reason then I cannot open either application at all - just stuck in the endless loop of crash on attempting open and then re-open to no effect.
    I have tried several solutions including:
    - complete office re-install (worked for a few days until the next crash)
    - holding "shift" (no effect)
    - deleting temp files and plist files following online forum advice (no effect)
    Note: I am not using complex excel files with macros (etc), just dropbox copies of simple spreadsheets.
    Can anyone else offer an alternative solution?

    Hi!
    I got this crash as well. followed the instructions to delete the plist file and holding the shiftkey did not work for me. The is the bit that bites...removed Office 2011 as per instructions and still only Excel does not work.
    Anyone know of a solution? Seems like the latest update on my machine was a Java update from Apple.
    Here is my error log.

  • InDesign CS3 crashing when opening Excel or Word docs

    Most Excel and Word documents (Office 2003) I open crash InDesign. Has anyone else experienced this?
    I have the latest Windows XP, MS, and Adobe updates (including InDesign 5.0.2).
    Thanks

    I haven't had this particular problem (could be because I don't have Word or Excel) but soon after installing CS3 I
    found that some actions in Outlook Express shut down InDesign. A few other users shared the experience.
    I wonder whether in rare occasions there is a conflict between InDesign and something in the Office suite.
    I can't offer a miraculous cure I'm afraid. I took the easy way out and switched my email client to Thunderbird. Your
    only similar option would be to install Open Office.
    You might want to experiment by installing the Word and Excel viewers - if they will coexist with the full versions of
    the programmes - and see whether an action that crashes InDesign using Word wil crash it using WordView. You might get
    more of a handle on where the conflict lies.
