If I burn a word document onto  a cdr disc...will i then be able to open it and save it under new name and edit it and then save it onto the hard disk for future editing?????

Yes.  You won't be able to save it back to the CD though.

Yes - you can even burn the edited document back onto the CDR (assuming it has the space/you didn't finalize the disc).

 

If this is something you need to do a lot, it might be worth getting a USB memory key. They are relatively cheap (I'm sure I've seen a 128Mb one for around �15) and show up as an additional drive on your PC, which means that data transfer is a lot easier (and faster) than faffing around burning discs. Plus the keys are a lot easier to transport.

You couldn't burn it back onto a CD R but you could burn it back onto a CD RW.

You could burn into a CDR after the original document if you multisessioned the disk, it wouldn't surprise me if XP had this feature built in.
