Save changes to the hard disk and use the CD as a backup instead. CD's were never designed to be a replacement for hard disks. The only CD's that you can overwrite are r/wEver get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0

Some cd burning software allow you to save multi-sessions on a normal cdr, but you have to specify this the first time you write to the disk.
If you've previously written to the cd as a single session you won't be able to add anything else to it.0 -
open the doc from the cd, make your changes, save on your computer, rename such as document 2 then burn to cd.0
