I understand thath a CD-RW disc lets you write to it (copy files onto it) in
multiple sittings. My question is -- After burning a doc. from
WordPerfect(R)11 onto a CD-RW disc. Can you go back to the doc. off the disc,
make changes to it and overwrite the original information without saving it
under another name??? Just save the changes. If so how ???????
Thanks in advance for your help

Two things.
A CDRW disk must be formatted for packet writing to do as you want. The
built-in CD recording software in Windows XP will not do that and secondly,
it is not good practice to open Documents directly from CD anyway - copy it
to your HDD, do the editing and then save over the original on the CDRW
disk.
