can't move documents

Using vista home premium, I copied documents from an old user to a CD. I copied
the CD to "documents" in the new user. I can access all of the documents in the
"documents" file but I have to have the CD in inorder to access documents while I
am using MS Works 9. Documents only show up in Works History when the CD is in the CD drive. How can I permanently move or copy documents to MS Works from
"documents" ? This has to be an easy fix, and I'm just making problems, but I do need help.

I wonder if you copied the documents or just created shortcuts? Please verify the actual documents are in the folder, find the document you want to open, right click, open as, and select MS Works.

I opened documents w/"open"..."open with"..I even sent a document to documents and it posted right where it should. No document got posted to Works History.Always before, if I opened a Works document in "documents" it posted to Works history...not this time.

Oh. You can open the documents, you just don't see it in the history file. I believe you will need to choose file, save as, and select the folder you want it to reside in. Then it should be in the history file.

Doesn't work...what "save as" should I use ? If I use save as I'm asked if I want to replace the document that is already there. I tried e-mailing to myself attaching a doc and saving it, but that didn't work either.

Can you uninstall any old Office app and install Microsoft Office 2007? That'll probably fix it. Are the files .doc or .docx?
